The Kwoa? is an intriguing form designed by one of our newer members Max Kwoa .

The structure consists of six couplets (two line stanzas) followed by a tercet (three line stanza). The first four plus the sixth couplet feature the same rhyme scheme ab. The first line of each of these couplets contains ten syllables broken by a caesura in the middle, and the second line contains six syllables.

The fifth stanza intentionally breaks the pattern with no rhyming and syllable counts of nine and five.

The last stanza has syllable counts of five, five, six, and a rhyme scheme of xab, where x is unrhymed.
