The Hautt, pronounced "howt," is another gem gleamed from Pathways for the Poet by Viola Berg. She devised this form and presented it "in honor of Dr. William Hautt, a contemporary Christian educator and administrator of considerable note." The structure consists of six unrhymed lines with syllable counts in a symmetrical 4, 5, 2, 2, 5, 4 pattern. The content should reflect "the pursuit of wisdom or the teaching of eternal truth," with each line ending with a strong word, as demonstrated in the following link: http://www.rainbowcommunications.org/velvet/forms/Hautt.pdf . Let the creativity flow from your soul! Dave "The Poet's Place " |
