Visit the "A-Z Poetic Form Contestants and Winners" to see all previous forms.  About This form whilst not the creation of the Canadian poet, Gloria Carpenter, it became her trademark, being used in conjunction with her elemental and avian photo studies in British Columbia. How To It is a straight forward form comprising of 3 Envelope Stanzas / Italian Quatrains and a couplet referenced back to the first and last line of the first quatrain. The rhyme scheme is: .A1. b. b. A2... c. d. d. c... e. f. f. e... A1. A2. Example Enlightened What could she do but radiate the light with heaven's image mirrored at her feet? Her legendary beauty rose to greet, and thank the healing waters for the sight. No sound was heard but whisper on the wing as silence listened, sharing nature's bliss, while waiting for the brush of feathered kiss, to bless the hush serenity can bring. Afloat on clouds, her elegance is drawn in emblems of nobility and grace. Her chariot transcended time and space For it has reached the night where Deneb shone. What could she do but radiate the light and thank the healing waters for the sight. Gloria Carpenter DUE BY 27TH APRIL AT 23:59 WDC TIME MORE? How much did you pick up in the first 13 weeks?
