Day 116:

Oct 24-Decima, spanish, 6-10 syllables, typically 8, iambic, abbaaccddc.
A Decima is, yes, a song
Tis writ from Spain so long ago
Iambic meter plays it so.
So count the syllables. How long?
From six to ten, you can’t go wrong.
Musicians, Spanish shout and sing
The instruments do help them bring
A rhythm special, tap your toes!
Then write a Decima, then close
By taking poetry to wing.
