Partenza Represa

The Partenza Represa created by: Dawn Slanker
It contains any number of four line stanzas which can rhyme or not rhyme
depending on preference. The most important features of this form are that
it maintains strict syllable line count of your choosing:
8*6*8*6, 8*8*8*8, 10*10*10*10, etc...and that each line must begin
(anywhere you like) with the last portion of the preceding line.
Also, it's important to point out that you have the option of either
continuing the first line of each stanza with a refrain from the line
preceding it or you may choose to begin an entirely new line for each stanza.
IMHO that makes this one of the most versatile forms I have yet addressed:

Any meter, any line length, any or no rhyme, word refrains

No template required.  See poem listed for example.


Example Poem

They Fart Melodies

Some folks believe their shit don't stink.
Their shit don't  stink, some people think.
Some people think, It seems to  me,
It seems to me- You may agree.

Suggest they've faltered and you'll see.
You'll see amazment- "What?  Not me!
Not me, the fault is in your view.
Your  view if critical-- untrue!"

Their poop's foil-wrapped, it has no smell.
It has no smell, a fool can tell.
A  fool can tell they're always right.
They're always right; therein's our plight.

Fawn, applaud, and give them respect.
Respect even what's not correct.
Correct them once and you'll be banned.
You'll be banned: You don't understand
