A Poem a Day in February is fast approaching. I am always looking for different poetry forms to try out. There are four poetry contests in February on my writers' site and my Facebook page.

For today, I am going to practice a tawddgyrch cadwynog. I tried this out two years ago. I'm still no better than then.

It is reported that it is a Welch poetic form. It is written in at least two quatrains with a four-syllable line length and its end rhymes in the pattern of abbc/abbc.

Here is my attempt with a few thoughts of old man winter:

Winter is cold

Snow is needed,

I once pleaded

It is winter

~

It can get old

snow is greeted

not depleted

he must tinker

~

Cold is so bold

scream mistreated

we are heated

lots of banter

~

I am not sold

I feel cheated

and I leaded

more snow mister

~

Old man does hold

he's deep-seated

I concluded

he's sinister

Authors note: please give it a try.
