Form Fitting Aesthetically displeased I ignored the strictures of the form, Continuing in my pioneering ways I wrote beyond the norm, Reaching the masses was my goal and one I'd achieve quite soon Odes to me, not poetry. I scribed my wonderous gift in every room, Satisfied I sat with pen, and verse I then redefined, Soon the world would know that poetry is solely mine, Delighted by my stanzas I dispensed with childish metre, Incontrovertibly, my words would find the laureate, and then unseat her, Caesar of sonnet, my name would ring out, in every home so lettered Keenly felt the disgraceful affront, when they said I was easily bettered.

Novem

A tercet plain
remains in sight
but to explain

Each line expounds
two mono sounds
a double! Zounds!

Absurd each line
rhyming word lies
really be heard.

Dodoitsu, a weird one
three lines of seven beat counts
give a sumptuous magic
for the last five beats

A-string of words
C-ompeting for a love they won't
R-eceive until the dopamine
O-fficiates that tender touch of
S-urrender to the whims of
T-houghts blinking
I-n & out of our pursuit for the
C-rusade of consciousness

Cinquain

Five lines you say!
And not a tanka but kinda
with no limit, no bloody limit
of line length, or tricksy syllable
counts! Well, fuck me!

Cool words drifting down
Right there on the page!!

Spelling down, first letter
The word is actually there!!
In the poem all the time

Find your rhythm
Your voice
Sprinkle adjectives
Like falling leaves
And nouns
Like notes in a jazz piece
Riff alliteration
Punctuation
The combination
Drip drip drip
Through a crack
In the wall
Settling visually
On the edge
Of your tongue

Ars Poetica Oh, that I would hear, with the ears of Soul, what is trying to be said, (again) instead of with these ears of mud. That, with cooling breath, I curate collaged assemblages, and incubate them until they become themselves That I be granted, the grace to build with my hands, bespoke load bearing armature, capable of carrying, that which needs saying, in ways that it can be heard. If need be, that I toil and never toil for toils sake Let me tread gently. For it to be vital, help me to get out of its way. Let me remember that I am not it, it is not me Oh Love, let me love it out into the world, and then, have me sleep this night, to dream that I am there, albeit briefly —Fleur du P

My first contribution to #PoetsOfDoom #Arsapoetica contains instructions, and an origin story for my own form of Sonnet which I have been working on. Feel free to give it a go yourself
#MeyersoneanSonnet #Sonnet #poetry
I thought, why should not sonnets have refrains? And so, dissected this once perfect form Restructured it, with brand new shape reborn A potent image brought around again. My pen a scalpel, slicing through the ink I thought, why should not sonnets have refrains? That rhyme scheme too, it might as well be changed Is nothing sacred? What would Shakespeare think? And so, I take this form and make it mine All sparked by one small niggle in my brain I thought, why should not sonnets have refrains That shift; each stanza, downward by one line? I thought, why should not sonnets have refrains? A potent image brought around again.

with free verse I can write any way I want not worrying about meter or rhyme or trying to rework a line to make it squeeze in realizing it won't, and screaming at it - who needs that? I just don't care what can I say I just want it how I want it and you can have it too for the low low price of forgetting all the rules

Right, my next #PoetsOfDoom
#ArsPoetica is a #sonnet
For @suzydobie.bsky.social
and the masters of the form
@sonnetsmith.bsky.social and
@daveashleypoet.bsky.social

(Be gentle with me people - I am not a sonnet kinda girl!)
Bloody Sonnets Upon the page, write one measured line, To frame your thoughts within a stately song. Each foot must march in rhythm's strict design, While words persuade the verse to move along. A rhyme appears and calls out to its mate, Though it can hide beyond the poet's sight. Chase the right sound like a rabbit always late, Then squeeze its echo till the fit is right. The quatrains build a house of ordered parts, Where sense and rhythm settle into place. Yet every line demands its share of arts, And every word must earn its rightful space. At last the fourteen lines consent to sing, Though you have bled for every little thing.
