Introduction

This is just a list of fourteen poetic forms in a sonnet, so it has a set number of syllables and a vague rhyme form. The concept of Plagiaristic Poetry is detailed by the link at the end.

The music is "Thomas The Rhymer" by Steeleye Span.

The Form Book

πŸ–ŠοΈπŸ“πŸ“šπŸ§ΎπŸ“–βœ’οΈβœοΈ

We'll Go With A Sonnet, Fourteen Lines

Could Have A Limerick, Lines Just Five

Maybe A Ballad And Maybe A Rhyme

A Nonet Of Nine Shortening Lines

πŸ“šπŸ§ΎπŸ“–

You Could Try Some Form Of A Cinquain

Or Take A Word For An Acrostic

Reverse Abecedarian, Pain

But Then An Ode Or An Elegy

πŸ“šπŸ§ΎπŸ“–

Write In Nineteen Lines, A Villanelle

Or Even Embark On A Pantoum

Try An Epic Saga, Stretch Yourself

And Three Here, Tanka, Ghazal, And Khlong

πŸ“šπŸ§ΎπŸ“–

Keep It Quite Short With A SenryΕ«

And Finish This Rhyme With A Haiku

Addendum

    What a great way to teach the kinds of poetry there are or maybe just a review. How creative you should be a teacher. Good job.

    I want to try the Shakespearean plagiarist or perhaps the Bowie plagiarist. But could I?

  • Will check this series out! Thanks for sharing, Mike.
