Hey Y’all! The ‘Alexandrine’ is another famous form of French poetry consisting of 12-syllabic lines with a caesura (natural pause) in between the two sets of 6 syllables. Here I’ve made every ‘Alexandrine’ line rhyme with each other, but the rhyme isn’t necessary. Hope you enjoy!
A lifetime can consist
Of ten years or ten days;
The memories we make
And the sights that we gaze,
The people that we cross
Paths with along our ways —
They’re what truly dictate
Our lifetime’s greatest phase.
Don’t forget to like, share, subscribe, and comment on what you thought of this poem, whether you’ve ever lived a ‘lifetime’ in a matter of days (I certainly did with the school trip I took a week ago — The SLTC), or even what one of your ‘lifetime’s greatest phases’ was. Thanks for reading! ♥
