Writing Form Poetry The challenge is to stay within the form, to count the syllables and create rhyme, while writing a poem out of the norm, difficult to do both at the same time; it appears easy, only when the muse is hot bothered by the discordance of life stress of survival count syllables by using toes and fingers (shoes aren’t necessary for starving poets) meet the test posed by rhyme scheme and rhythm: the challenge is to stay within the form. Line count: 12 Form: Dorsimbra was created by Eve Braden, Frieda Dorris and Robert Simonton, which is a set form made up of three stanza with four lines each. Stanza 1 created by using 4 lines of Shakespearean sonnet, which is iambic pentameter rhyming abab. Stanza 2 created by using 4 lines of free verse. Stanza 3 created by using 4 lines of blank verse, with the last line repeating the 1st line of the 1st stanza. A statement from the creators of this form “Since the Dorsimbra requires three different sorts of form writing, enjambment can help to achieve fluidity between stanzas, while internal rhymes and near-rhymes can help tie the stanzas together”. |
