The Twisted End form
is a creation of Nichole
Alexander.
This is a stanzaic
poem consisting of four or five tercet stanzas.
Each stanza has
independent monorhyme.
There is no
line-length or meter requirement.
The defining
requirement of the form is that some part
of each of the first two lines be "twisted"
together in forming
the third stanza line which MUST INCLUDE INTERNAL RHYME.
Example Poem
Write a Twisted
End (Twisted End)
You must depend on
rhyme as your good friend
with mono and
internal rhyme to blend
depend on your
internal rhyme to end.
The Twisted End sets
forth no metric tone.
but permits choice
if poet is so prone.
The Twisted End my
friend permits your own.
No poetic device is
disallowed.
A verse endowed will
rise above the crowd.
Device endowed
attempts should make one proud.
Alliterate or write
with metaphor
or obfuscate and be
a common boor.
Allit with wit makes
common a bit more.
