Impressionist

The Impressionist form was invented by Pamela Santini, writing on AllPoetry as Stands_In_Awe

It is a nine stanza poem

It is syllabic.

 The first eight stanzas consist of both a four and five syllable line, in either order, followed by a "quip" of one or two words limited to three syllables.

The final stanza consists of a pair of four syllable lines each followed by one of the "quips" previously used.

Example Poem

Unselfish Selfies

He wants to see some

more of me, I'm

Supposing.

The pic goes with the

sexting that I'm

composing.

So my face is not

all that I'll be

exposing.

Several simple

sexy selfies I'm

enclosing.

Exactly what I'll

show I'm not now

disclosing.

But I'll bet my butt

it keeps him from

dozing,

stimulates and moves

him closer to

proposing.

I'll sign myself, "all

yours, with love", in

closing.

Selfies work when

Exposing;

that's what girls are

supposing.
