Warm raindrops downward fall
plunging on stones below,
warm raindrops downward fall.
A young lass with her beau,
a flood of tears drops down
plunging on stones below.
His words cause her meltdown
To blend with falling rain
A flood of tears drop down.
Jilted, consumed by pain
mixed-up, her hopes, and dreams,
blending with falling rain.
Tears and rain form new streams
rushing to the seashore
mixed-up; her hopes, and dreams.
Gone! Her sense of ardor,
Warm raindrops downward fall
Love not the guy next door,
Warm raindrops downward fall.

Author Notes
A personal quest to write my first Terzanelle which is a poetry type that is a combination of the villanelle and the terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in the quatrain.
The rhyme and refrain scheme for the triplets is as follows:
1. A
2. B
3. A
4. b
5. C
6. B
7. c
8. D
9. C
10. d
11. E
12. D
13. e
14. F
15. E
16. f
17. A
18. F
19. A
