A to Z Poetry: Interlocking Rhymes

An interlocking rhyme is a rhyme in which a rhyme in a line of one stanza is used as a link to a rhyme in the next stanza: aba; bcb; cdc.
Her heart burns
through the night
as the angry sea churns

 Ember tearing bright 
flow down the hills
as trees ignite

 Into the ocean she spills
all that she yearns
as the moonlight chills

Today's Haiku:

 Haiku Heights April A to Z: Incense


 Too smoky for me
Burning that incense be
Give it to the birds
Carpe Diem: Scorpio (The Scorpion)

 Stinging sharply
In the darkness of night
Keeps you on edge

    all 3 offerings here were so good....espec. liked the new (to me) form of interlocking rhyme....Incense burns my eyes and nose too, but I still love the smell...
