Bibliographic Profile Acrostic


This a poetry form invented by AP's own Andre_ben-YEHU

It is named — BIBLIOBIOGRAPHIC PROFILE ACROSTIC. It may be rhymed or blank verse on any poetic frame and verse's length; and “Poetic License” is allowed in the meter. 

The composition in this form must paint a profile on the Tributee, and use title (s) of the tributee’s literary production within the stanzas or stanza.

The purpose of this form is to honor the Tributee-author, the poetic Art, and to promote the tributee’s works. 


Here is an example poem by Lawrencealot

Example Poem

Eusebius     ( BIBLIOBIOGRAPHIC PROFILE ACROSTIC)

MIRROR, MIRROR, a horror story moved me,  lacking gore.
Intrigued by Michael's mild approach I ventured to read more.
Clearly FLOWER FROM THE STARS comes ready to delight fans
Having thrived on fantasy taking place in many lands
And thrilling readers of his poems. There I've read him most.
Even active folks may miss him He'll not compete nor host.
Look for GUILE, CAMILLE, or POUT, different forms everyone.
**
Forms used by Swinburne left unnamed, reemergence he's begun.
AMERA IS penned by this swain is exemplar Trijan refrain.
Now, VOICE OF ANGELS, Swinburne's work and CAMILLE is again.
THE CHATEAU and THE CENTAURESS are sonnets with distinction.
If we can learn from these- quality won't face extinction.
Now that I've said my piece and presented this micro view.
Arise and go check Eusebius out- all six of you.

Mystique Sonetillo Acróstico


This form was created by  Alberto Jose Alvarez Gonzalez aka MystiqueWizzard

It is a mixture of  Acrostic, Sonetillo and English Sonnet as it would end with rhyming couplet.

Here´s the twist:
8 syllables : Stanzas 1 -3
7 syllables  :Stanza 2 and couplet
Rhyming Scheme is: abba bccb cddc ee
The closing couplet must conclude what's stated in the first two stanzas and
the third stanza will be a little change in the direction of the statement( light volta).
You must choose a theme that holds 14 letters so you can make it acrostic.

The theme MUST be a satire or hold an obvious satirical tonality.

Example Poem

Transformation

America, Obama said,
Needs fundamental change-- and hope.
That he, a dream black, clean as soap,
Implied would be so free of dread.

Can't 'member him saying "Nope,
All thru creating, so much
Prosperity-- losing touch
Indeed with the poor man's need."

There's green that needs the Fed's soft touch.
All businesses need our control
Lest they be soon on public dole.
Imagine! We can be your crutch.

So yep,  I do have small change.
That's one thing he did arrange.
