"The Cleave Poem form is an experimental form created by Dr Phuoc-Tan Diep who states on his website for Cleave Poetry:

In 2006 I came up with an idea for an experimental poetic form called the Cleave Poem.

One of my aims was to examine how something can be more than the sum of its parts and can be 3 in 1: synergy, fusion, co-operation, dialectics, marriage, interdependence, teamwork and The Trinity.

How to read a Cleave poem?

Simply:
1. Read the left hand poem as a first discrete poem.
2. Read the right hand poem as a second discrete poem.
3. Read the whole as a third integrated poem.

In its most basic form it is three poems:
~~two parallel ‘vertical’ poems (left and right)
~~a third ‘horizontal’ poem being the fusion of the vertical poems read together."

Glowing of yellow against blue;
colors brushed onto canvas.
The artist gives much more
in hues than words can
express or sound.
Those simple
brushstrokes:
awe.

The Harvest
http://www.allposters.com/-sp/The-Harvest-Posters_i1332629_.htm


Summer sun has passed away
bringing the works of fall to the land.
Harvest time has come again
to this peaceful sections of country.

Bringing the works of fall to the land
grain and vegetation are collected with care.
Hard labor covers the day while
the night has the rest from toils.

Harvest time has come again
with each day that fall brings.
Until the snows cover the land
signifying another seasons end.

To this peaceful sections of country
come the pleasures of natural living.
Another harvest comes and goes
with the passing of the sun.



The lilibonelle is invented by one of the editors of Sol Magazine. Her name:Bonnie Williams

"The lilibonelle has a basic form and an extended form. In this entry we take a look at the basic form.


The basic form is four stanzas of four lines each, in which each line of the first stanza is consecutively repeated as the first line of each of the other stanzas, and allows for a variation where an extra final line may be included. Use an introspective or reflective theme with this form, one that conveys a loving, wistful or poignant feeling.

That works out in this pattern:
Pattern:
Stanza 1 line 1
Stanza 1 line 2
Stanza 1 line 3
Stanza 1 line 4

Stanza 2 line 1 repeats Stanza 1 line 2
Stanza 2 line 2
Stanza 2 line 3
Stanza 2 line 4

Stanza 3 line 1 repeats Stanza 1 line 3
Stanza 3 line 2
Stanza 3 line 3
Stanza 3 line 4

Stanza 4 line 1 repeats Stanza 1 line 4
Stanza 4 line 2
Stanza 4 line 3
Stanza 4 line 4 "

Lemons

Tart little ray of sunshine found in fruit.

Sweet lips soft to touch
sour treat, acute in taste, creates much pleasure deep within.

Bundle of light liquified into juice,
life's bitter candy.

Natural produce, not quite a brandy until fermented.

Make the moment last
As it becomes the past.
Remember what you can
Knowing the good is a plan.
In experience you will grow
Not knowing how actions sow
Gain the lesson from the woe.

Take a picture to place away
In an album as a hidden display.
Maybe once time has gone
Elsewhere will bring a new dawn.



"Acrostic poetry is one of the most popular forms. Acrostic poetry does not have to rhyme. The only twist compared to a regular poem is that when you read the first letters from each line, you'll find a name or a sentence."

"The Lune can be considered as the American counterpart of haiku. In the sources I have read thus far, it states that the Lune is more flexible than haiku as it is bound by less rules. The form is created by Robert Kelly, in the ‘60s of the past century.

Kelly’s form of the Lune has thirteen syllables, divided over three lines. There are no other restrictions to write the Lune. It is built up in this way:

Line 1: 5 syllables
Line 2: 3 syllables
Line 3: 5 syllables."

Empty Coffins

The dead can walk under illuminate
bloody moons. Unknown destinations
reflect upon empty eyes. All are lost.
Coffins hold none of his creations.


The Toddaid consists of quatrains, alternating between ten-syllable and nine-syllable lines. A syllable toward the end of the first line rhymes into the middle of the second; the same effect in three and four. Lines two and four rhyme with each other.

You build the Toddaid up like this:

xxxxxxxxxx
xxxbxxxxa
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxbxxxxa

Additional stanzas are built up in the same way.

Lightning Strikes

Electricity hums from
hands
held high in manifestation.
All
in the name of science,
this energy is built to break the chains on society.
Beats down
unruly beam of light and angles
away from the intended destination.
Genius insanity, trial used in hope of creating
change to unkempt public wars over the source.
Files are lost in death as suspicion
rises from the regime's command against a humble inventor
when lightning strikes.


"You know Pi as the sixteent letter of the Greek alphabeth. But Pi is also used as poetry form. I discovered a small explanation on the page of Jan Haag, who has written several poems in Pi form.

The Pi is built up in words and follows the mathematical number that stands for Pi:
PI = 3.141592653589793

In lines:
line 1: 3 words
line 2: 1 word
line 3: 4 words
line 4: 1 word
line 5: 5 words

Fear

begin to tremble
stomach quakes and falls
with each bloody scream
incapable of escape
one can only wait in fear

adrenaline rush
desired high fast achieved
sudden gush, short lived
at peak of trip comes the end
falling for a drug, terror




"Tanka is Japan's oldest poetry form.
Traditionally a tanka has five lines with 5-7-5-7-7 syllables.
Tanka presents one image or mood in the first two lines, shifting to a related idea in the next three, commonly about sadness, love, the shortness of life, or the seasons. Unlike the Japanese Haiku, Tanka may use poetical devices such as metaphor and personification."

Midnight Oil

Burning the midnight oil
takes energy beyond
the light of tepid day
to draw down energy
before all thoughts can stray.

Burning the midnight oil
aids in development
of illusive designs
hidden from wakened mind
encoded in vague signs.

Burning the midnight oil
lets out what was hidden
bringing grim questions
of the human psyche
with evil intentions.

Burning the midnight oil
is the best way to live
letting out secrets deep
that festers deep within
exit only in sleep.


Monchielle
"According to Shadowpoetry.com, the Monchielle is developed by Jim T. Henriksen. It is a recent developed form, as on a different website the example he wrote was dated November 7th 2005. A new form to play with - still not an easy one.

The guidelines:

The poem contains out of 4 stanzas
Each stanza has five lines.
Every line has six syllables
Every first line is repeated and comes back as the first line of all the other stanzas.
Line 3 and 5 rhyme, in every stanza.
The rhyme scheme: Abcdc Aefgf Ahiji Aklml"

Cookie Time

There is only one thing
that can fix me today.
Can't fight or find a way
against constant culinary craving.
I clutch my knees up against my chest, trembling,
in a tight fetal pose.
I'm haunted by a harsh demand,
voices command
submission, I chose.
Cookies, candied joy,
my chocolate Eden
time has come to get my fix and enjoy.

It's like an addiction,
one I cannot fracture.
Giving in to rapture
never able to follow restriction
being an eager addict is my affliction.
Relaxed, now giving in
to the temptation once again.
trembles stop, then
continue my sin.
Cookies, employ
feelings of pleasant zen
brought out by sweet chocolate coated joy.



"La Courante was a dance in the baroque period. Paul Scarron wrote in this form; in France it is known as one of the first classic free verse poems.
This poem is formed by two stanzas. The first stanza is model for the second stanza. In a way a kind of refrain is visible in the last three lines of the second stanza.

Rhyme scheme and syllables...

The syllables in the Courante
line:
1 - 6
2 - 6
3 - 6
4 - 10
5 - 12
6 - 6
7 - 8
8 - 4
9 - 5
10 - 4
11 - 6
12 - 10

The rhyme can be divided in three parts. Scarron "played" with it in the second stanza, but as general you can keep this in your mind:
a/b/b/a/a c/d/d/c e/d/e"

Is the glass half-empty or half-full?

A transparent glass sits on the sill
projecting hope and pain you fulfill.
Reflection glaring, empty or full,
equal amounts fall after you pull.



Cyhydedd Naw Ban
"Also a welsh poetry form. The Cyhydedd Naw Ban consists out of nine syllable lines, rhyming in couplets. (This poetry form has at least two lines...) When added more couplets to the stanza, the rhyme will be the same as in the previous couplet. Still nine syllables per line."

Dreams

darkness
numb thought
the body lies

emptiness
illusions sought
under slumber's guise

possess
mood distraught
another harsh surprise

progress
images wrought
an unknown reprise



the Jánakú. (pronounciation: hay (na) ku )
"The forum owner of "The World in Chapter and Verse" writes:
The form was invented by Eileen Tabios. It is simple: A tercet comprised of one, two- and three-word lines. Variations can be created from the basic form. "

From dictionary: Tercet
"a set or group of three lines of verse rhyming together or connected by rhyme with an adjacent tercet."
