The
Alliterisen (Complex and Rhyming), a form created by Udit Bhatia, is a simple seven-lined poem
with a specific syllable pattern and two alliterations per line.
For example: Glorious Graves, and wonderful waves. Alliteration is the succession
of similar consonant sounds. They are not recognized by spelling, but rather by
sounds.
The
syllable structure for the Complex Alliterisen is as follows:
1st line- x syllables
2nd line- x+2 syllables
3rd line- x-1 syllables
4th line- (x+2)-1 syllables
5th line- x-2 syllables
6th line- (x+2)-2 syllables
7th line- x syllables
which allows for
infinite syllable sequences.
Example
Poem
The
Knight of the Shopping Queen ( Complex
Alliterisen with monorhyme)
Momma
mumbles and grandpa grumbles but off they go.
She's
got stores selected and he's got gumption and lots of dough.
Solicitous
salesmen appear, all with grand goods to show
needles,
brass bobbins, templates and many fine fabrics to sew
Gramps
grabs her next favored choice; takes it in tow.
Store
after store momma's proven plaza pro
And
Gramps just grins and waits until when momma says whoa.

Example Poem
Facing Off
My clock was clearly
mocking
with its tick-ing
and tock-ing.
"Get to work,
write right away.
I track time
through-out the day.
I'm not mocking you,
fine friend,
just prodding your
plodding pen."
His song's sure
despite his face.
