Fun with Forms #3: The Ottava Rima (level 1)
The OTTAVA RIMA (rhyme of eight) is an old Italian poetry form, dating back to the 13th century. The form is fairly simple, and consists of 8-line verses (or octaves). For this challenge, each line should be made of 8 syllables, with a verse rhyme scheme of: [a b a b a b c c]. (For the purists, you can use iambic tetrameter, but any 8 syllables will work). Create as many octaves as you wish. — Example here: https://theprose.com/post/737881/morning-flight — (Please tag me in the comments of your entry)
Signor Neutrino, Supereroe Atomico
Signor Neutrino sees through lead
Bends steel alloy origami
Stops armed missiles overhead
Eats radioactivity
He brought Signorina to bed
Decided to unmask his head
His secret identity's blown
One look and she left him alone
