Zesty Mordant posted:In the last version of this thread someone demonstrated a weird poetry form, it was pretty short and extremely restrictive, I can't for the life of me remember what it was and none of the forms on regular lists seem familiar. What was it?? Was it double dactyls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dactyl?? Cos I posted about them in the last thread + they're great. eg Higgledy piggledy, Benjamin Harrison, Twenty-third president Was, and, as such, Served between Clevelands and Save for this trivial Idiosyncrasy, Didn't do much. I write them a lot if I can think of a double dactylic word, here's one of mine Battery Flattery Trial of the century This man’s been found making Youth’s brains enlarged He offers no defence And so our judge declares Apologetically “Guilty as charged!”

Np, once you get a feel for the rhythm of them they're really easy. The most difficult parts are finding double dactylic words for the second last line and finding first lines that are nonsense while still sounding cool. Good luck and post them in this thread imo Tristran and I sold her Forcing out poems to Expel this uselessness Here’s what I tried- Reading the masters to Gain inspiration which Counterproductively Stymied the tide CestMoi fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Apr 10, 2016 |
