Scupham Stanza

It was created by British poet, Peter Scupham.
It is
isosyllabic
stanzaic, written in any number of sextets,
rhymed: abccba
meter optional


Example Poem

Waisted!     (Scupham Stanza)




The Scupham rhyme is like our Cathie Jung.
Who is in the Guiness World Record book.
The stanza's spread by rhyme  that pinches some
When to the middle you let rhyming come.
That could be construed as the hour-glass look.
A form for which this septarian's sung.

Author's Note
The smallest waist belongs to Cathie Jung (USA, b. 1937),
who stands at 1.72 m (5 ft 8 in) and has a corseted waist measuring

38.1 cm (15 in). Un-corseted, it measures 53.34 cm (21 in).
