Double Ballade Supreme
| Type: | | Structure, Metrical Requirement, Repetitive Requirement, Rhyme
Scheme Requirement, Isosyllabic | | |
| Description: | | This reminds me of the name of a pie at Bakers Square, but
is actually a 60 or 65 line poem. It is like a ballade supreme with three extra verses that may not have the envoy. In short, it will have six verses of
ababbccdcD where the rhymes are consistent throughout and a possible envoy of ccdcD with D being a repeated refrain.
Like the ballade, double ballade, and ballade supreme, it is strictly syllabic verse of any one length. I’m sure the French preference would be
alexandrines. | | |
