My Love is Round (Balassi)
This form is attributed to Balint Balassi, a great Hungarian lyricist of the 1500's who wrote of love, religion and war.
A Balassi stanza is 9 lines in length with a syllable count of: 6,6,7,6,6,7,6,6,7 and a rhyme scheme of: b,b,a,c,c,a,d,d,a.
Here is my example, hope you enjoy!


My Love is Round

The one I love is round.
He sings - a deep bass sound.
His slightly scarred skin is taut.

His voice booms loud and clear.
I love to hold him near.
When we play we both get hot!

Sometimes he is restive.
Together - we're festive!
Best darn drum I ever bought!
