paradelle

One of the more demanding fixed forms of poetry first appearing in French love poetry during the 11th century.

It is a poem of four six-line stanzas in which the first and second lines, as well as the third and fourth lines of the first three stanzas, must be identical. The fifth and sixth lines must use all the words from the preceding lines and only those words. The final stanza must use every word from all the preceding stanzas and only those words.

Paradelle for Everything (It's Only Demanding If You Are)

Everything consumes my every waking thought
Everything consumes my every waking thought
In my dreams I float through nodes
In my dreams I float through nodes
Through Everything I float my waking dreams
In my thought, consumes nodes

How I would like to fill up with facts
How I would like to fill up with facts
I let this distraction light the dark places
I let this distraction light the dark places
How dark the facts, I light dark with would
Like to distraction, with this I let fill up

This is where thoughts begin and end
This is where thoughts begin and end
In the eyes of node gods
In the eyes of node gods
This node of gods and eyes
Begin in the thoughts where the end is

Let distraction fill up with god's eyes
And facts would like to light everything
Of this, dark dreams is where thought ends
Float, light up every thought this consumes
I in my I, how through waking places, begin this
The node! The nodes!
