At the poetry forum, Capriole, for fun, we were told
to invent a new form...i did and called the form,
descending poem--poem of nine lines of free verse with
three stanzas of four lines, three lines, and two
lines, in that order. The first four lines of the poem
must introduce the subject. The next three lines
should show conflict or tension which is overturned or
dissolved in the third stanza. The overall feel of the
poem is one of surrender or letting go.
I just wrote the following poem..i don't know if it's
the best example, but just to illustrate...Anybody
want to try it? ;) Thanks.
Light
we talk
about things
not worth
mentioning
how many there are
how many senses
to fill, to endanger
the light falls
across the kitchen floor
