Poetry Forms Easily Explained - a work of Bianca with additions by kansaspoet |
| The Hexaduad _________________________________________________ Knowing how much Bianca enjoys posting forms in this book of forms, I took the liberty of entering the Hexaduad. The Huxaduad form was introduced to me by friend and fellow Writing.com poet c.r.stone. The example given below - Expressions - is her poem. The Hexaduad is a syllabic Old English form of poetry, comprised of a series of rhyming couplets that vary between 2, 4, 6, and 8 syllables per line. It contains one stanza of six rhyming couplets or twelve lines. The syllable scheme is set at 2/2/6/6/8/8/4/4/6/6/4/4. The rhyme structure is aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff. http://www.poetrybase.info/forms/001/141.shtml Expressions So strong a song would help to remember burning flames and ember. When past melodies seemed to haunt on piano cords I would jaunt-- past reflections, and rejections. To me, my love delight, In mind you still ignite. You are to me pure poetry. c.r.stone |
