Tanka

Tanka is a classic form of Japanese poetry related to the haiku with five unrhymed lines of five,

seven, five, seven, and seven syllables.  (5, 7, 5, 7, 7) 

The 5/7/5/7/7 rule is rumored to have been made up for school children to understand and learn this type of poetry.  For an in depth description of Haiku, please visit the Shadow Poetry Haiku, Senryu, and Tanka section.

~::~ Death Conquers ~::~

Carefree was her life

Intolerable failure

Many lost chances

Few hopeless resurrections

She lay speechless, death conquers

~::~ Unfettered Dreams ~::~

The monotetra is a new poetic form developed by Michael Walker. Each stanza contains four lines

in monorhyme. Each line is in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of eight syllables. What makes

the monotetra so powerful as a poetic form, is that the last line contains two metrical feet, repeated.

It can have as few as one or two stanzas, or as many as desired.

Stanza Structure:

Line 1: 8 syllables; A1

Line 2: 8 syllables; A2

Line 3: 8 syllables; A3

Line 4: 4 syllables, repeated; A4, A4

~::~ Unfettered Dreams ~::~

 

Long are my days and lonely nights

Torn forlorn unearthly twilights

Waking at unsettling midnights

My soul’s a plight.. My soul’s a plight..

 

Few silent tears escape my eyes

As hopelessness begins to rise

Confounded mind asks many whys

My heart defies… My heart defies

 

Despondency in my life screams

A single silver lining gleams..

Of blooming meadows and sun beams

Unfettered dreams… Unfettered dreams

Heyy… How are you all doing??

Well… I am back again with yet another form of poetry…

Kyrielle

A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum. 

Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB. 

Mixing up the rhyme scheme is possible for an unusual pattern of: axaZ, bxbZ, cxcZ, dxdZ, etc. with Z being the repeated line.

 The rhyme pattern is completely up to the poet.

 

~::~ I Dance ~::~

When life gives more reasons to cry

Regardless of how hard I try

When all I get is a lost chance

Absorbed in my own world I dance

 

When anger gets better of me

All emotions want to just flee

Inhaling deeply I take stance

Absorbed in my own world I dance

 

When ’m happy and jump in joy

Like a kid playing with his toy

I move around whistling in prance

Absorbed in my own world I dance

 

When life’s ruled by monotony

Boredom increases in degree

Without a single look askance

Absorbed in my own world I dance

 

For all my diverse reactions

Only outlet is my passion

That has me enraptured in trance

Absorbed in my own world I dance

Bringing forth another new form of poetry called the Lanturne

The Lanturne is a five-line verse shaped like a Japanese lantern with a syllabic pattern of one, two, three, four, one.

 For more info and examples you could check http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/lanturne.html

So here’s trying my hand at Lanturne but ofkoss I have coupled 2-3 lanturnes together making it a Tri-Lanturne 😀

Splendid poise

Embracing cool

Enfolds in

Gentle zephyr

~::~ Thursday Poets Rally Week 36 ~ TeaTime ~::~

Happy New Year folks..

OK i knw i have been a little late on this 😦

but m happy that i have managed to make it  in time atleast 😕

This year i have promised to be as regular and loyal to my blogs and the various prompts that i have been doing… And esp to Jingle for introducing a whole new world of poetry to me.. I shall always be grateful to her for discovering me and yes will try to be as regular on the Poets Rally as I can .. and this is one promise I definitely intend keeping up…

I also intend to take up as many new forms of poetry as I can and practice all the old ones too 🙂

So for this week’s rally I present a new form (atleast new to me) Etheree
http://jingleyanqiu.wordpress.com/2010/12/29/thursday-poets-rally-week-36-december-29-2010-january-5-2011/

 

Etheree

The poetry form, Etheree, consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables.  Etheree can also be reversed and written 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.  Get creative and write an Etheree with more than one verse, but follow suit with an inverted syllable count.

Reversed Etheree:  10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Double Etheree:  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 9, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

~::~ Tea-Time ~::~

 

Lost

In thoughts

Stirring slow

Mixing crystals

My notions mellow

Tensions dissolve away

The nectar graces my throat

Feeling of warmth spreads across me

I bite into some sugar cookies

After all its me time – my tea time. Bliss!

~~

As time goes by I head back to my seat

Work sucking me in like a twister

My head spins, I amble around

Marching forth like a soldier

Fallen, struck but not gone

I retaliate

Fight at all costs

But burn out

Craving

Lost

~::~::~::~

I hope you guys enjoyed the poem and the form.

Sorry Ji for being a little late..I hope you are kind and considerate as ever and do welcome me with open arms like you always do J

~::~ Spring Time ~::~

OK I have been in a really long Sabbatical..

But that was a much needed break as i needed to shed my old poetic baggage and come back with new and shiny covers 😀

and yes i believe now i am indeed back with a bang and here to stay..

I know you’re wondering why  the title when its still winter..

well you can call it the yearning for  Spring  with its vibrant colours and hues and aromas :mrgreen:

and this time i am tryin my hand at a very new form of poetry called PANTOUM

PANTOUM –

The pantoum consists of a series of quatrains rhyming ABAB in which the second and fourth lines of a quatrain recur as the first and third lines in the succeeding quatrain; each quatrain introduces a new second rhyme as BCBC, CDCD. The first line of the series recurs as the last line of the closing quatrain, and third line of the poem recurs as the second line of the closing quatrain, rhyming ZAZA.

 The design is simple:

 Line 1

Line 2

Line 3

Line 4

 Line 5 (repeat of line 2)

Line 6

Line 7 (repeat of line 4)

Line 8

 Continue with as many stanzas as you wish, but the ending stanzathen repeats the second and fourth lines of the previous stanza (as its first and third lines), and also repeats the third line of the first stanza, as its second line, and the first line of the first stanza as its fourth. So the first line of the poem is also the last.

 Last stanza:

 Line 2 of previous stanza

Line 3 of first stanza

Line 4 of previous stanza

Line 1 of first stanza

 

~::~ Spring Time ~::~

Dispelling all gloom
