Ottava Rima
Definition:
Ottava Rima refers to a form of poetry that consists of eight lines, usually in iambic pentameter, with a rhyme scheme of ABABABCC. It originated in Italy and was commonly used in epic poems and other narrative works.
Examples:
- When the hero faced the dragon, bold and strong
The battle raged until the break of dawn
With shield and sword, he fought against all wrong
And saved the kingdom from the wicked pawn.
The people cheered, their gratefulness o'erflowed
For the legend who in history's pages glowed.
United they stood, proud as a shining star
Ottava rima carried their tale afar.
- She wrote a sonnet using ottava rima,
Each line crafted with skilled rhyme and rhythm.
Her words flowed freely, filled with strength and grace,
Painting emotions on the reader's face.
With each new stanza, a story unfurled,
A tale of love that spanned the whole wide world.
Through poetry, she found her voice and might,
Ottava rima was her guiding light.
