- Vers Beaucoup French-many rhymes) is an invented stanzaic form that is riddled with rhyme. Created by Curt Mongold who suggest the lines within the quatrains be enjambed. The Vers Beaucoup is:
- stanzaic, written in any number of quatrains.
- metered at the discretion of the poet.
- rhymed, including multiple internal rhyme sounds. Rhyme scheme (a-a-a)(a-b-b)(b-c-c)(c-d-d) (e-e-e)(e-f-f)(f-g-g)(g-h-h) etc.
My thanks to Judi Van Gorder for

example poem.
Stamp
Collecting Hazards (Vers Beaucoup)
It's
wrong that all along she showed her thong,
so
wrong- and it was camp for that young vamp
with
stamp upon her back to show such lack
of
tact when it is said that she is wed.
She's
not a gal I'd caught, or even thought
a
lot about but yet I'd like to sweat
and
pet without concern that I discern
I'd
earn when mister stamp collects his tramp.
