My example poem

My Reservoir Is Now Pints Shy     (Sonnetia Rispetto)

A challenge once was put to me

to drink six beers and not to pee.

When young I won that careless bet

Six bottles I would quickly scarf,

then merely belch and never barf,

but how I did it I forget.

A challenge once was put to me

to drink six beers and not to pee.

My bladder then could wait and wait

and bow not to an old prostate.

When young I won that careless bet

but how I did it I forget.

A challenge once was put to me

to drink six beers and not to pee.

Example Poem

Dedicated to Majestic Rose

To write a Cortes

Cortes Nonet , I do mean,

Mean minded MajesticRose means that

that requirement that each line carries on so

so smoothly  with the last word from the prior line  if you,

you ambitious poet, think your muse can run free you may lose.

Lose just one word and you will be hitting delete way too many times.

Due to the already significant demands save trying to rhyme.

Rhyme if you wish.  It is allowed I shall attempt it this time.

Time is on my side for I am half way through this verse.

Verse being used here to mean stanza, what's worse,

worse than that, I'll run out of couplets-

couplets needed to rhyme more.

More is out the door.

Diatelle

The Diatelle is a fun, syllable counting form like the etheree with a twist. The syllable structure of the diatelle is as follows: 1/2/3/4/6/8/10/12/10/8/6/4/3/2/1, but unlike an etheree, has a set rhyme pattern of abbcbccaccbcbba. This poetry form may be written on any subject matter and looks best center aligned in a diamond shape.

The Diatelle form was created by Bradley Vrooman.

Example Poem

Wind  (Diatelle)

wind

can blow

as you know

with a great might

affecting the tides flow,

cause hurricanes, whirlpools and blight

upon all craft at sea, and sea coasts smite

all inhabitants ashore as if they had sinned.

On the other hand that wind can be quite

kind and let a boy fly his kite

or aid man with the blow,

wind mills save might.

A nice show

is slow

wind.

Hex Sonnata

The HexSonnetta, created by Andrea Dietrich, 

consists of two six-line stanzas and a finishing rhyming 

couplet with the following set of rules:

Meter: Iambic Trimeter 

Rhyme Scheme: a/bb/aa/b c/dd/cc/d ee 

Iambic Trimeter means the usual iambic (alternating unstressed/stressed)

 meter for every line of the poem, but instead of the ten syllables that 

comprise a typical sonnet's iambic pentameter, this particular form uses 

six syllables of iambic trimeter per line. Thus, the name HexSonnetta. 

The first part of the form’s name refers to the syllable count per line. 

The second part of the name, Sonnetta, is to show this to be a form 

similar to the sonnet, yet with its shorter lines and different rhyme 

scheme, it is not the typical sonnet. Not only does this poem have six 

syllables per line, it also has a set of two six-line stanzas, giving 

an extra “hex” to the meaning of HexSonnetta. 

The rhyme scheme is a bit of a mixture of the two traditional sonnet types, 

with the two 6-line stanzas having more the rhyme scheme of an Italian sonnet, 

but with the ending rhyming couplet being the featured rhyme scheme of the 

English sonnet. The first stanza presents the theme of the poem, with the 

second stanza serving to change the tone of the poem, to introduce a new 

aspect of the theme or to give added details. 

The final couplet, as in an English sonnet, can be either a summary 

(if the theme is simple) or it could be the resolution to a problem 

presented in the theme. In any event, it should nicely tie together 

the whole piece and could even appear as a nice “twist” presented at the end.

Example Poem

Gam-boy No Batteries 

The tramp stamp tattoo's swell

but now it is passé.

This tat's for every day.

It's sure to cast a spell

and start-up jitters, quell.

Just need a pen to play.

You verbal skills may suck.

You may be shy to boot.

The guys will closer scoot.

Keep in your car or truck

a pen for your own luck.

and playing is a hoot!

Put one upon your thighs.

for really studly guys.

Example Poem

Use a New Form (Margerinesoar Noir)

Let us not abuse a form of our own.
A poet pursues truth with words on loan.
It should not confuse, lest poets disown.

Let us not abuse a form of our own.
Make pattern amuse, and not make folks groan.

Write of lover's coos, or of Fred Flintstone,
or paying our dues for chances we've blown,
of evil in pews, or wild oats we've sown.

Whatever your muse drops into your zone--
Remember to choose your own words alone.

A poet pursues truth with words on loan.
Make pattern amuse, and not make folks groan.
If words can bemuse then we'll not bemoan
the efforts we use to make it our own.

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.

Example Poem

Camping Trip

"Dress for camping," I advised, "Wear red.

So she put on a pencil dress.

She wanted me home instead.

Her ploy was a success.

I stayed home and was not sad.

I was I'll admit, quite content.

Next time I said "Camping won't be bad."

"Dress in red.  Wear boots- You will be glad."

She dressed in leather; time well spent

and wore the best boots she had.

Even though she brought rope,

Figuring to snare our lunch?

I stayed home again.  I'm no dope.

And there I enjoyed my honeybunch.

Example Poem

Little Brick Library

When I was young,  and that means wee,
My nearby library did astound.
I started stopping every day.

I'd roam the shelves from about  three
'til five o'clock or 'til I'd found
one book I could not put away.

It was wonderful they were free;
the best resource that I had found
and books had so darn much to say.

This was long 'fore girls intrigued me.
The building was a good friend found,
where I'd rather hang-out than play.

Those short years opened wide the door.
to much I still plan to explore.
