An Irish form the Cro Cumaisc Etir Ocus Lethrannaigecht, despite its long name, is a four-line quatrain poem. Lines 1 and 3 consist of seven-syllables each and lines 2 and 4 of five-syllables each. Lines 1 and 2 end with a three-syllable word and line 2 and 4 with a one-syllable word. The rhyme scheme is as follows:

October, sing devotion
Comforting my soul
Echo my heart’s emotion
Make my spirit whole

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
