broken

eyes of blue
bluer still, when she cries
her glance will pierce you through
especially when you’re why
she’s broken-hearted…you…

The Bob and Wheel

The bob and wheel, which has its origins in mediaeval poetry and song, takes its name from the craft of spinning. It consists of five lines; a short (two or three syllable) first line followed by four lines of six syllables each. The first, third and fifth lines rhyme, as do the second and fourth lines. We can present this schematically as follows:

xxA

xxxxxB

xxxxxA

xxxxxB

xxxxxA
