Fragrant Magnolias dance in pearl moonlight
Your name plays in velvet whispers of the night
I keep my promise, in death we shall unite

This is in response to the ‘Unusual Poetic Forms’ by Literary Impulse.

I have chosen the Italian Poetic Form STORNELLO:-

The Stornello is a tercet (or three-line stanza) form with eleven syllables per line and an aaa end rhyme. It’s as simple as that!

Thank you editors Somsubhra Banerjee and Priyanka Srivastava for the prompt series and for bringing to us this delightful bag of creative food.

A huge thank you to all my readers here and a shoutout to everyone to try a new form as well.
