Form Friday: What is my favorite poetry form?
What is my favorite poetry form? I do not have one. I write a lot of
free verse, senryu, and haiku, but that does not mean they are my
favorites. Even though I have not written very many prose poems, II
enjoy reviewing them. Today I reviewed a beautiful story written in
prose poetry form about an elderly woman on her deathbed. The poem,
which was written in line phased form, had the rhythm of natural speech
and used internal rhyme to emphasize the theme and subject. I usually
write prose poems in paragraph form; however, after reading this poem I
think I will attempt a prose poem in line phased form.
What types of poetry forms do I like when I write? I like haibun poetry, which is a combination of prose and line phased poetry. I like to use haibun because it pushes me to write short descriptive paragraph, which helps when writing short stories. Haibun is difficult to write because it requires me to include other types of short poetry forms. I usually use senryu and haiku, but not always. Sometimes I include short free verse poems in my haibun entries.
