  Welcome! This forum was the brainchild of Markymark  who was looking for a place for writers who want to share ideas, thoughts, and advice etc. on poetry specifically. When a group member is looking for something, I usually try and direct them to a forum or an author that specializing in what they're looking for. In this case, I looked but couldn't find anything like what was requested. So what better thing to do? I created it.  So welcome to our creation. You can read his introduction here  "Welcome Poetry Lovers, Enthusiasts, and All ! "   Staff members will assist in answering questions. Now this doesn't mean we have all the answers; it does mean we will research the question and find the best answer. If you know the answer, don't hesitate to offer it. This forum is for discussion, learning and practice. "The Talent Pond" members may post poetry review requests in this forum. If you're not a member, please join!At the beginning of each month, we will post a selection of forms that will be the topic of that month's discussion. This particular forum will run in collaboration with our quarterly poetry challenge: "Rhythm & Rhyme Poetry Challenge" [E]  What happens in Rhythm Reef stays in Rhythm Reef.  Just kidding. I always wanted to say that.But really ... let's keep it very simple: Be polite and pay attention to the forum rating. Your comment is subject to editing or suspension based on these rules.

Acceptable topics for discussion: Any questions related to poetry Commentary/discussion on poetry forms (highlighted or not) Review requests on poetry related items (poetry, prose, articles about poetry ...)This Month's Highlighted Forms Each month I will highlight three forms that have some aspect in common. This month we're showcasing poetry forms that use letters to create a unique sound, a hidden message, or just an interesting flow. Letters are required to put a poem to paper (or computer) but we really take them for granted as a small part of the larger word they create. Realize just how important one (or a few) letters can be when they become the focus of a whole poem!  Septolet Example The Septolet is a poem consisting of seven lines containing fourteen words with a break in between the two parts. Both parts deal with the same thought and create a picture. Mirrored Refrain Example The Mirrored Refrain is rhyming verse form constructed by Stephanie Repnyek. The poem is formed by three or more quatrains where two lines within the quatrain are the "mirrored refrain" or alternating refrain. The rhyme scheme is as follows: xaBA, xbAB, xaBA, xbAB, etc.. x represents the only lines that do not rhyme within the poem. A and B represent the refrain. Shadow Sonnet Example The Shadow Sonnet was created by Amera M. Andersen, may be written in any sonnet style. The Shadow takes place at the beginning and ending of each line as the words are identical or homophonic. Since all poetry was originally meant to be sung or recited out loud, homophonic words are acceptable, these are words that sound alike such as “see and sea”. (Rules: 14 lines, 9 or 10 syllables per line. The poem should have a volta or pivit; iambic pentameter is not necessary.) For a list of past forms posted to this forum, please see: "Rhythm Reef ~ Past Forms" Specific questions or private comments regarding this forum can be directed to ~♥~Krysha~♥~   or sent through a review of this item.Useful Links: Syllable Counter Interactive Poetry Tools - This list of tools is geared toward children and teaching poetry but many of the tools are useful even for experienced poets.RhymeZone - This is a rhyming dictionary (that can also give you near-rhymes), thesaurus, dictionary and more! |
