Form of the Week: Mini-monoverse


Form of the Week: Mini-monoverse



The Mini-monoverse is a poetic form created by Emily Romano, an author
and award-winning poet.

The Mini-monoverse poem is made up of two stanzas, each consisting of five three-syllable lines.
         Rhyme scheme:  1st stanza – a/a/a/a/a
                                      2nd stanza – b/b/b/b/b

Ideally, the Mini-monoverse tells a story, but that isn’t a requirement.

Here is one of Emily Romano’s Mini-monoverse poems:


The Kill

Crack of dawn:
On the lawn,
Timid fawn,
Lacking brawn,
Becomes pawn.

Nature’s raw –
Tooth and claw,
Crushing jaw!
This I saw,
Filled with awe.


Copyright 2007 Emily Romano



Another example:


Love on the Rocks
   by Mick Talbot

slapped my face
sprayed with mace
big disgrace
fall from grace
put in place

pride is lost
heavy cost
lines were crossed
I was tossed
feel the frost

Give this unusual poetic form a go!
