Carried On A Breeze ( Lento )

by Cindy

Carried On A Breeze

Night breeze carries you my love
Bright moonbeams in your hair
Firelight kisses, waiting lips
Unite two souls, answered prayers

Aching for your loving touch
Cradling warmth, embracing arms
Sleeping tucked within your heart
Dreaming safely away from harm

A Lento

consists of two quatrains with a fixed rhyme scheme of abcb, defe. The second
and fourth lines of each stanza must rhyme.
To take it a step further, try
rhyming the first and third lines as well as the second and fourth lines of each stanza in this
rhyming pattern: abab, cdcd.
The FIRST words of each verse should rhyme....this is the hard part! There is no fixed syllable structure to the Lento, but
keeping a good, flowing rhythm is recommended.
