Hi all.
I've just created this new poetic form today. I am dubbing it Trois-par-Huit (Three-by-Eight or Octa-Tri). It is a poem containing 8 lines, displayed visually with three stanzas of either tercet, tercet, couplet (3, 3, 2) OR tercet, couplet, tercet (3, 2, 3) as follows;
1. The title is also the final line.
The line length requirements: Line 1 ~ 3 syllables Line 2 ~ 6 syllables Line 3 ~ 9 syllables
Lines 4 & 5 ~ 12 syllables
Line 6 ~ 9 syllables Line 7 ~ 6 syllables Line 8 ~ 3 syllables (is the title and summarizes the meaning of the poem)
The rhyme scheme requirements: Line 1. A Line 2. A Line 3. B Line 4. B Line 5. B Line 6. C Line 7. C Line 8. C
Give it a try!
~Cleo
UPDATE: Daniel has dubbed the form: Trois-par-Huit (Three-by-Eight) and I've just changed the stanza alignment to 3/2/3 as well....
Nature's King
The firs rise touching star-twinkled skies standing vigil o’er evening’s glow
wrapped in sparkling charms of glitter gold, ashen snow embraces kisses of crimson berries below
where silvery cherubs dance and sing …symbols of joy to bring Nature’s King.
