I can still feel my cheeks ablaze
when i think of his roaming gaze
My blood does simmer
When his eyes shimmer
I tremor
as always

Clogyrnach
Besides being another fun form to say, clogyrnach is also a fun poem to write. This Welsh poetic form is typically a six-line syllabic stanza with an ab rhyme scheme:
Line 1: 8 syllables with an a rhyme
Line 2: 8 syllables with an a rhyme
Line 3: 5 syllables with a b rhyme
Line 4: 5 syllables with a b rhyme
Line 5: 3 syllables with a b rhyme
Line 6: 3 syllables with an a rhyme
Note: There’s also a variant that combines lines 5 and 6 into one line–making a 5-line stanza
Wordifull 
This form is cool! I want to try it.
Give it a go! It was new to me.. and i didn’t spend much time on it so I’m sure you could do something great 🙂
Very cool indeed.
Thank you!
Love tremors can be both rewarding as well as frightening…
That’s the truth!
