Form of the week: HexSonnetta
by Dave Author IconMail Icon
The HexSonnetta, devised by Andrea Dietrich, consists of fourteen lines, similar to the Sonnet, arranged in stanzas of 6, 6, 2 lines. The lines have six syllables per line (iambic trimeter for the purists among us) and a rhyme scheme of abbaab cddccd ee, as described and demonstrated in the following links:
