Barbee

This form was created by Lawrencealot  in response to a contest.

It is named the Barbee, due to the facts it is dedicated to BarbarbBP, and that it's syllabic representation looks somewhat like a capital E.

This form was designed for IAMBIC PENTAMETER in which case all of the required rhyming is STRESSED

It has a COUPLET rhyming pattern on the 2nd syllable of aabbccddeeffgg

and an end-rhyme CROSSED rhyming pattern of  ababcdcdefef

It is twelve lines long and may be presented as the poet desires.

It is syllabic 10/10/10/6/6/10/10/6/6/10/10/10

Example Poem

Natural Transformation

A rose within my garden proudly grows

and shows it's colors to all flying friends.

it sends it's scents to bees and birds and so

attends to those whose ends

it serves while it preserves

with verve the scents its visitors like best

expressed thru pollination's frequent swerve.

Attest now to progressed

parade of bright new shades

as trades made randomly give us a new

delight of multicolor serenades

It’s quite a pleasant gift for us to view.
