Eighteen Form Poems in Six Weeks

On Sunday, March 14, 2010, I began a ten-week poetry challenge called Poetry In Motion on writing.com. Each week I have three different forms to choose from, but it is only necessary to submit one form poem. So far, I have written poems using all the forms. That is eighteen form poems in six week, four weeks remain in the challenge with three different forms each week.

I am placing the poems in a book called Poetry in Motion Poems located in My Port on writing.com. The forms I have used are as follows.

1. The Doublet
2. Tri-fall
3. The Swap Quatrain and Historical Research
4. The 160
5. Acrostic Monorhyme
6. Ninesquare
7. Triolet
8. Ae frelighe
9. The Sestina
10. Fox Septet
11. Le Sizain hétérométrique

13. Cyhydedd Naw Ban
14. Naani
15. Englyn Unodl Union
