Monometric

The Monometric Form was
Invented by  Walter E. Ferguson III, aka Thunder_Speech on Allpoetry

The form can be manifest in three modes:
The norm is Augmented Monometric, illustrated below by that author's poem.

This form requires the poet to begin with a couplet, then augment
each succeeding stanza with one more line.

Each stanza is to be independent mono-rhyme.

Lines can be of any constant meter, e.g.,
Iambic trimeter, Iambic tetrameter, Iambic pentameter, etc..or
Trochaic tetramter, trochaic pentameter, etc., or
Amphibrach Dimeter, amphibrach Trimeter, etc..
To summarize, the poet may choose ANY consistent meter and feet, and
then apply mono-rhyme to increasing length stanzas.

If the poet chooses to start with his maximum stanza length and subtract one line
each stanza, ending with a couplet, it is then called a Diminished Monometric.

Clearly an enterprising poet could append each type and have a Reversing Monometric.

Example Poem

Routine   (Reversing Monometric)

Joe digs the hole each day.
It's always been that way.

I stick the bloody pole
into the bloomin' hole
That's always been my role.

The hole's then filled by Ned.
while Joe goes on ahead.
I fetch poles from the shed,
so nothing need be said.

Well I was sick one day.
Work went on anyway.
They knew their jobs okay.
They did them the same way.

Joe dug; Ned filled the hole.
They both knew their own role
but didn't know the goal.

It's OK, now I'm back.
We'll get the fence on track.
