Day 3 - C for CinqTroisDecaLaRhyme
Day 4 - D For Diamente
I find poems with internal rhyme tough to write, you need to take care of so many things. Don’t exceed syllable count, don’t force the rhyme, keep the slow smooth, no filler words ... ahhh ... but still what’s better than a good challenge. Here's a dedication to Mother Earth in the form of Essence.

Flora and sandy shores,
Kookaburra adores.
Eucalyptus stands tall
While Platypus enthral
Leo looks down from high
Moonlight surrounds the sky
Frail womb of abandoned land
yester's bloom, sleeps on
sand,
spring smothered by concrete,
limp wings, desperately
plead,
summer steadily blaze,
dissolving winter's grace.
Kookaburra watching over Pacific Ocean
Essence is a short structured form of two lines. Each line has six syllable, with end rhyme and internal rhyme.
