For your first visit, I suggest this selection

Comme dans mon précédent puzzle poétique, il existe en fait deux solutions. La première est un dizain au schéma de rimes classique AbbA cc DeDe, mais dont les premier & dernier vers sont plus courts :

                Un manque
        Se ressent en ton coeur,
        Saltimbanque arnaqueur
        En ta planque — oeuvre branque
        S'éclipsant sans espoir.
        Une issue entrevoir ?
        À la fin du dédale,
        La massue au malus
        Intervint, infernale
                Et plus.

Notez que le petit carré rouge n'est pas utilisé.

La seconde solution se sert de toutes les pièces, dans le même cadre violet dont la surface n'a pas changé (célèbre illusion), et donne un muzain au schéma de rimes classique AbAb CdCCd :

        Entrevoir une issue
        Du dédale à la fin :
        Au malus, la massue
        Infernale intervint,

        Et plus jamais un manque
        En ton coeur se ressent.
        Arnaqueur saltimbanque,
        OEuvre, branque en ta planque,
        Sans espoir s'éclipsant.
