I wrote a Burns Stanza this morning
A Burns Stanza is made up of six iambic lines rhyming a-a-a-b-a-b, The lines containing the a rhyme are iambic tetrameter, which is four meter feet of eight syllables. The b rhymed lines are iambic dimeter, which is two meter feet of four syllables.
I like the Burns Stanza because it focus my mind on the poem's subject. The form is like a recipe because it dictates how the poem is written and leaves the subject or theme up to the poet. I encountered this form while reviewing on writing.com.
Since this is my first Burns Stanza, I am posting the poem in my writing.com port Prosperous Snow. I want to get some reviews of this poem and perhaps enter it in a contest on writing.com.
