Crochet--7/5 Trochee

Yarn slips through my little hands
Hats are made and sold
Safe from life's constant demands
Crochet makes me bold.

Life hasn't always been great
but I find some joy
in embracing this wool fate
A soft, yarny ploy!


Form Info ▼

Form: 7/5 Trochee

Number of Lines: minimum of 8 (two quatrains)

Rules:
The 7/5 Trochee, created by Andrea Dietrich, of 2 or more quatrain stanzas with the following set rules:

Meter: 7/5/7/5
Rhyme Scheme: a/b/c/b or a/b/a/b

The meter is trochee, which means alternating stressed and unstressed beats in each line, with each line beginning and ending in a stressed syllable. This is a simple lyrical type little poem, so rhymes will be basic, nothing fancy. The poem itself should give a description of something of interest to the poet. There is not a set number of these quatrain type stanzas, but a typical 7/5 Trochee would consist of two quatrains, with the second stanza serving to tie up the idea presented in the first stanza.
