The 7/5 Trochee, created by Andrea
Dietrich, of 2 or more quatrain stanzas
with the following set rules:
Meter: Trochaic
Syllabic: 7/5/7/5
Syllabic: 7/5/7/5
Rhyme
Scheme: a/b/c/b or a/b/a/b
The
meter is trochee, which means alternating stressed and
unstressed
beats in each line, with each line beginning and
ending
in a stressed syllable. This is a simple lyrical type
little
poem, so rhymes will be basic, nothing fancy.
The poem
itself should give a description of something of interest to the poet.
There is
not a set number of these quatrain type stanzas,
but a
typical 7/5 Trochee would consist of two quatrains,
with the
second stanza serving to tie up the idea presented in the first stanza.

Example Poem
Nap
Sleeping
eight hours every night
Seems to
some devine.
Choosing
such is quite their right.
Just
don't make it mine.
I will
sleep that much or more.
Taking
smaller blocks.
For in
afternoon I snore
Even
wearing socks.
