NEW BEGINNINGS

this is the time to start
to newness add a part
and build up our world again
we all have parts to play
to make a better day
to bring peace and all be friends
today we open eyes
the truth we realize
with no change our world will end

Balasi Stanza

It is believed that this stanza form was used by the Hungarian poet Balint Balassi, who rationalized it from a three line form consisting of 19 syllables per line, and broke it up by the use of internal rhymes.

This evolved into a rhyme scheme as follows

x. x. x. x. x. a.
x. x. x. x. x. a.
x. x. x. x. x. x. d
x. x. x. x. x. b
x. x. x. x. x. b
x. x. x. x. x. x. d
x. x. x. x. x. c
x. x. x. x. x. c
x. x. x. x. x. x. d
