poetry form week 80, Anne Freislighe Poems

 

 

 

a poetry form is hard to find, how to write one is also different,

here is one of those we choose to try

• Quatrain stanzas (4-line stanzas)
• 7 syllables per line
• Lines 1 and 3 rhyme together, but they rhyme as three syllables (sse)
• Lines 2 and 4 rhyme together as two syllables (sh)
• The final syllable, word, or line of the entire poem should be the same as the entire poem begins (the poetic term for this is sheena)
• Poem can be as concise as one stanza and scale out as far as a poet wishes to push it
