Hello.
Since there are so very many fixed forms of poetry available to express ourselves, we want to limit this forum to those forms that do not exceed 7 lines in length. As to the particulars, participation rules here are consistent with the other poetry forums at MM: 1:2:2 - post today, not tomorrow - one poem per topic, give 2 crits to other poems, wait 2 days before posting again.
I've taken the liberty of writing down all the 'short forms' that I am familiar with below. Please DO post any other short forms that you know and let us know so we can add them to this list.
Ae freislighe ~ 4 lines Atarlis Fileata ~ 7 lines Cinquain ~ 5 lines Clerihew ~ 4 lines Dodoitsu ~ 4 lines faux-ku ~ 4 lines Haiku ~ 3 lines Hay(na)ku ~ 3 lines Lanturne ~ 5 lines Limerick ~ 5 lines Lira ~ 5 lines Quintine ~ 5 lines Sedoka ~ 6 lines Septolet ~ 7 lines Senryu ~ 3 lines Sevenling ~ 7 lines Shadorma ~ 6 lines Sijo ~ 3 to 6 lines Tanka ~ 5 lines Tetractys ~ 5 lines
Enjoy! Mosaic Musings Staff
