| Prompt = 3 wishes standard fake desires collect genie lost once again Tanka, English "The English form is shorter. To approach the same rhythm of the Japanese Tanka, you have to build the English Tanka in 13 syllables. Line 1: 2 syllables Line 2: 3 syllables Line 3: 2 syllables Line 4: 3 syllables Line 5: 3 syllables" |
| Sweet bundle of joy, beautiful source of the sparkles Touching teary eyes with each move of little feet. A finger curls, clutching, as cries create an enigma Rocking to ease the unknown, secrets of the mother. Bliss comes from holding this soft bundle of a cub Uncoils as position changes, her ability to move thru. Red cheeks steal my heart with each eyelash flutter Small head moves down to find hands, the natural pacifiers. Taken in, this love comes with the birth of another innocent. Acrostic, double "The double acrostic is a little bit tricky. You know already that a normal acrostic starts with a name or a sentence. For the double acrostic you have to use the name or sentence you start with, as your ending letters as well." |
Reflecting Beam laser refracting echo of light in window prismatic glinting Haiku, Brazilian "found a description of the "Brazilian Haiku" through About.com. It seems that Guilherme de Almeida was the first writer who seemed to have brought the Haiku to Brazil. The Brazilian haiku has a rhyme scheme. That looks like this: - - - - X - O - - - - O - - - - X (X rimes with X and O rhymes with O)" |
| Amaryllis With a flicker, the short cut is found, an amygdala path is flashed, creating an emotional response long before one discovers the emotion can occur without cognition or thought. Lily white flower proves the heart is not always subject to the mind. Boonstra Brain Function Form. This form received his name, after an e-mail correspondence between Jan Haag – who was playing with word forms in poetry, and myself. I enjoyed her style and asked in my mail if she had already a name for this form. Her answer was negative and she suggested in her reply back to me, that she would name the form after me. Time zones between us made that I saw her reply the other morning, and when I went to her website I saw she named the form already. I must say I am honoured. How do you write the Boonstra Brain Function Form? The main rule within this form is that it has to do with the function of brain and body. The lines are built up in words, not syllables. The Boonstra Brain Function Form can be a single stanza, as well as a chain of stanzas. In lines: Line 1: 11 words Line 2: 10 words Line 3: 9 words Line 4: 6 words Line 5: 4 words Line 6: 2 words Line 7: 1 word. |
| Bereft Sullen, choking endearment wretched solitude escaping within, raising malcontent from empty love, now collapsing. Hurt emotions eternal, empty and full of regret, unable to find internal truth, wanting to forget. Burns deep against damnation; hellfire, around the fallen, enflames sinful temptation unto barren souls, sullen. Ae Freslighe "This Irish form is not easy. While it is short, you have to keep the little rules for this form, to write it properly. I hope I can explain it clear… ~ The Ae Freslighe can have more than one stanza. ~ Each stanza is built up out of four lines (a quatrain) ~ Each line has seven syllables. # Line one and three use a triple rhyme (three syllable rhyme) # Line two and four use a double rhyme (two syllables) # You have to end line four with the first syllable word in the first line, or the complete line that you used to begin your poem with. The scheme: x x x x (x x a) x x x x x (x b) x x x x (x x a) x x x x x (x b)" |
| Feeling the End There is regret falling down on bruised knees. Anger in raised fists to the sky from rage against his lies. More pain as each decision collapses under dead weight. Loss. 160 The 160 is a 21st century poetry form. Adapted from the number of characters that can be placed in an SMS; the 160 is challenging the poet to write compact, using exactly 160 characters, including spaces, commas etc. It is limiting, but also challenging... |
| Cherries When it comes to a special berry; nothing tops my drink like that of a cherry. Puntdicht/Epigram. Puntdicht is a Dutch form, used by poets since ages. The most known poet who used this form is Joost van den Vondel. The English equivalent of this form is an epigram. In less or exactly 22 syllables they made a statement, as well as a witty reaction on that statement. It is a sharp verse, sometimes a bit sarcastic. |
| Scented Crayons Feathered down to hearts of jade Rose scent glows in the shade The dirt from unkempt roots will fade Below fresh air that never stayed Until enflamed in smoke, betrayed Cherry odors sparkle and then fade On my colored crayon serenade http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors The Mono-rhyme A Mono-rhyme is a poem with just one rhyme at the end. Very simple. A. That means that every line ends with the same rhyme. |

| Tears of Ice Frozen tendrils collapse under the weight crushing the luminous crystals below. Ripples of sound echo across the land in reverberant waves that ebb and roll like the tempest spouting vexation down. Destruction never ceases under hands ignorant zombies drilling deep within deserted tundra of unchaste terrain. Ecosystems shatter under the load powerless to mortals empty control. Mourn the erosion of this natural existence that flees before solemn eyes. Let tears descend along frosty pathways, each an ice diamond lost in the abyss. The Lannet is another poetry form I found on www.shadowpoetry.com. The Lannet was created by Laura Lamarca and is a form of a sonnet. The Lannet form consists of: ~~14 lines ~~10 syllables per line – simple syllabic meter is sufficient - stressed-meter (iambic, etc is not required) ~~ No end-line rhyming is required, however ~~ internal rhyming is permitted. ~~ A specific stanza requirement is not stated. |

| No More I'm tired of all the lies. Do me a favor, don't pretend that you care or give me false hope. The Butterfly Cinquain. "I think most poets know the Cinquain form already.

Its syllable scheme is as following: line 1: 2 line 2: 4 line 3: 6 line 4: 8 line 5: 2" |

| Butterfly Kiss Light flutter from the delicate wings of a sweet angel's soft lashes. An innocent act of love and blessing on my cheek. Just a quick tickle and then it's gone. Butterfly kisses; fly. Nonet "If you have tried the countdown before, this form will be an easy one for you. Starting with nine syllables, you are counting down with one syllable in every line. So, instead of going from 10 to 1, you are going from 9 syllables." |
| Suicide Dark embrace will not save her from the fall for even love has lost the battle. One touch is all that we have left before the end reigns down. Your tears will fall like rain but the stain remains deep in your soul. Cannot stop the tears of blood. Count Down In fact is the count down the opposite of the count up. You start with 10 syllables in the first line and in the following lines you write a syllable less. So you end with one syllable. It is a great form to use with a humorous twist…(but it is not necessary…) |
| Moon Affair Flicker of light across a pond bring down the silver rope to me. Dark night, of you I become fond with such delicate glow we bond and with the sun, our love will flee. The quintilla – as the name already tells me has five lines. his form uses two rhymes in it…and every line counts eight syllables. What can vary though is the place of the rhyme… rhyme scheme 1: ababa rhyme scheme 2: abbab rhyme scheme 3: abaab rhyme scheme 4: aabba |

Pathya Vat contains four lines of four syllables, the both middle lines rhyme. Made visual: xxxa xxxb xxxb xxxc" "If desired you can make a chain of Pathya Vat stanzas.

| Song for Athene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyeC9xC08dg Raise your voice to the sky, hearts in hand, uplifted. Push the dark light away and sing Hallelujah. Gayatri Meter The only difference with the Gayatri mantra “Tripada Gayantri” is that the syllables are divided in 4 pada of 6 syllables. In total the syllables remain 24 but in this case the dividing of the syllables over four lines changes the rhythm of the Gayatri mantra. |
