bref double

the bref double is rarefied,
a postcard from the sonnet's edge;
lax both in meter and in rhyme,
it seems to romp most giddily.
unhinged from it's cousin's strictures
it's joy and grace exemplified.
free and easy flows the quill-tip;
the lines fill up so prettily.
here classic verse is simplified
(surprising since the form is french),
and while its rules can be defied
it's hardly worth the poet's time.
in closing, reader, i confide
i find this form purely sublime.
