Tuesday Research Topic: Poetry Forms
This week, I am working with these poetry forms.
Sunday - Pi (Archimedes’ Poem) Title: “The letter X symbolizes the Unknown” posted in my writing.com portfolio under the contest Submissions folder. Pi (Archimedes’ Poem) is a 6-line poem that uses the important mathematical constants of Pi = 3.14286. Each line’s word count correlates to the number of pi. There is no rhyme or meter requirement. So the Poem according to Archimedes is built up in this way:
line 1: 3 words
line 2: 1 word
line 3: 4 words
line 4: 2 words
line 5: 8 words
line 6: 6 words.
Monday - Traditional Go Vat Title: “A Sock Dilemma” posted in my writing.com portfolio under the folder Contest Submissions. A Traditional Go Vat Poem that has at least two stanzas that are composed of three lines each, with eight syllables per line. The 1st two lines of each stanza rhyme. The last line of each stanza is a refrain either in whole or in part (the last word in the line). The rhyme scheme is a, a, B, a, a, B.
Tuesday - Burns Stanza AKA Standard Habbie Title: “First Contact” posted in my writing.com portfolio under the fold Contest Submissions. Burns Stanza AKA Standard Habbie consists of 6-line stanzas, with no stanza limit. The rhyme scheme is a, a, a, b, a, b and the syllabic structure is 8, 8, 8, 6, 8, 6.
Wednesday – Yama (not yet written). A Yama is composed of quatrain (4-line) stanzas, without stanza limits. Each line has six syllables, with a rhyme scheme of a, b, c, b …. The subject of this poem is death, grief, sorrow or simply a poem of loss and the poem must have a title.
Thursday – Sedoka (not yet written). A Sedoka is a 2-stanza poem with 3 lines each. The syllable count is 5, 7, 7 and 5, 7, 7. This poem addresses the same subject from different perspectives and does not rhyme.
