Week 47 Form: Star Sevlin
Form: Star Sevlin  Open in new Window.
Star Sevlin is an invented shape poem that is supposed to form a star when centered on the page.
It is found in Pathways for the Poet by Viola Berg 1977 and was created by Lilliann Mathilda Svenson.

Number of Lines: 7, a heptastich


Rules: 4/6/8/6/8/6/4 syllables per line and centered on the page.
Note the rhyme scheme below.


Meter: iambic syllabic


Rhyme Scheme: abbcaca

Choices for the poets to make this week: Your poem can be about any topic.


Example:

First One in 50 Years (Star Sevlin)

I don’t know why
this form is called a star
and not Svenson’s. That’s how things are.
There isn’t much to find
Good samples are in short supply
Thus my blog was designed
lest old forms die.
