Form: Brady's Touch  Brady’s Touch is a decastich (10-line poem) created by Maryann Merryweather-Travis on November 2006, in honor of Allen Brady. Number of Lines: 10 Rules:  2 quintets (5-line stanzas) with a specific rhyme and syllabic count. Line length: Each stanza follows the same pattern of 9-9-8-8-2 syllables. Rhyme scheme: abxcd abxcdThus the second stanza is an exact replica of the first stanza in terms of line length and rhyme. The poem really has a nice sound, with the rhyming sounds being so far apart from each other. Choices for the poets to make this week: Your poem can be about any topic. Example: Sitting Outside Sitting outside all alone I am, But the world is not quiet at all. Listening, I hear wind in chimes, A bubbling fountain, dogs, and boys, A bird… Sirens and horns from a traffic jam, Rustling leaves in the trees standing tall, But the laughter from two houses Down from me is the sweetest noise I’ve heard.
