Terms:
Iambic refers to a metrical foot consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. \u00a0(Example: \u00a0\u201cI\u2019d love to sing a song about my cat\u201d in which love, sing, song, bout, and cat are the stressed syllables.) \u00a0<\/p>\n

DIAMANTE<\/p>\n
A Diamante is a seven-lined contrast poem set up in a diamond shape. \u00a0The first line begins with a
noun\/subject, and second line contains two adjectives that describe the beginning noun. \u00a0The third line
contains three words ending in -ing relating to the noun\/subject. \u00a0The forth line contains two words that
describe the noun\/subject and two that describe the closing synonym\/antonym. \u00a0If using an antonym for
the ending, this is where the shift should occur. \u00a0In the fifth line are three more -ing words describing
the ending antonym\/synonym, and the sixth are two more adjectives describing the ending
antonym\/synonym. \u00a0The last line ends with the first noun\u2019s antonym or synonym.<\/p>\n
To make it a bit simpler, here is a diagram.<\/p>\n
Line 1: Noun or subject
Line 2: Two Adjectives describing the first noun\/subect
Line 3: Three -ing words describing the first noun\/subject
Line 4: Four words: two about the first noun\/subject, two about the antonym\/synonym

GHAZAL<\/p>\n
A ghazal is a collection of rarely more then a dozen couplets, known as shers, averaging about seven. At the end of the second line of each sher is a repeating refrain, known as radif. The rule of matla tells that the first sher of each ghazal is a double-radif sher, where both lines repeat the refrain, and the kaafiyaa. Kaafiyaa is the rhyme scheme used before each radif throughout the poem, and doesn\u2019t change. Each ghazal has similar beher, or meter. Beher is loosely categorized into short, medium, and long. Poets use their pen name, or maqta in the final sher.<\/p>\n

MONOTETRA<\/p>\n
The monotetra is a new poetic form developed by Michael Walker. Each stanza contains four lines
in monorhyme. Each line is in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of eight syllables. What makes
the monotetra so powerful as a poetic form, is that the last line contains two metrical feet, repeated.
It can have as few as one or two stanzas, or as many as desired.<\/p>\n
Stanza Structure:<\/p>\n
Line 1: 8 syllables; A1

PARADELLE<\/p>\n
A paradelle is a difficult French poetic form first used in the eleventh century. \u00a0This fixed form of
poetry consists of four six-line stanzas with a repetitive pattern. \u00a0<\/p>\n
First Three Stanzas:<\/p>\n
The first two lines as well as the third and fourth lines of the first three stanzas must be the same
(repeat). \u00a0Where it begins to get difficult and become more of a poetic puzzle is when reaching
fifth and sixth lines. \u00a0These lines must contain all the words from the preceding four lines within
the stanza using them only once to form completely new lines.<\/p>\n
Last Stanza:<\/p>\n
For the most difficult piece of this poetic puzzle, the final stanza of the paradelle does not repeat like
the preceding stanzas, rather the final six lines must contain every word from the first three stanzas,
and only those words, again using them only once to form completely new lines.<\/p>\n
The Design is simple:<\/p>\n
Stanza 1: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4 \u00a0
Stanza 2: 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8
Stanza 3: 9, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12
Stanza 4: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18<\/p>\n

ACROSTIC<\/p>
First Letter in Lines Spell a word.<\/p>
----------------------------------------------------------------<\/p>
BLANK VERSE<\/p>
unrhymed iambic pentameter<\/p>
Terms:
Iambic refers to a metrical foot consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. \u00a0(Example: \u00a0\"I'd love to sing a song about my cat\" in which love, sing, song, bout, and cat are the stressed syllables.) \u00a0<\/p>
Pentameter is basically just a ten syllable line. \u00a0<\/p>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------<\/p>
DIAMANTE<\/p>
A Diamante is a seven-lined contrast poem set up in a diamond shape. \u00a0The first line begins with a
noun\/subject, and second line contains two adjectives that describe the beginning noun. \u00a0The third line
contains three words ending in -ing relating to the noun\/subject. \u00a0The forth line contains two words that
describe the noun\/subject and two that describe the closing synonym\/antonym. \u00a0If using an antonym for
the ending, this is where the shift should occur. \u00a0In the fifth line are three more -ing words describing
the ending antonym\/synonym, and the sixth are two more adjectives describing the ending
antonym\/synonym. \u00a0The last line ends with the first noun's antonym or synonym.<\/p>
To make it a bit simpler, here is a diagram.<\/p>
Line 1: Noun or subject
Line 2: Two Adjectives describing the first noun\/subect
Line 3: Three -ing words describing the first noun\/subject
Line 4: Four words: two about the first noun\/subject, two about the antonym\/synonym
Line 5: Three -ing words about the antonym\/synonym
Line 6: Two adjectives describing the antonym\/synonym
Line 7: Antonym\/synonym for the subject<\/p>

GHAZAL<\/p>
A ghazal is a collection of rarely more then a dozen couplets, known as shers, averaging about seven. At the end of the second line of each sher is a repeating refrain, known as radif. The rule of matla tells that the first sher of each ghazal is a double-radif sher, where both lines repeat the refrain, and the kaafiyaa. Kaafiyaa is the rhyme scheme used before each radif throughout the poem, and doesn\u2019t change. Each ghazal has similar beher, or meter. Beher is loosely categorized into short, medium, and long. Poets use their pen name, or maqta in the final sher.<\/p>

MONOTETRA<\/p>
The monotetra is a new poetic form developed by Michael Walker. Each stanza contains four lines
in monorhyme. Each line is in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of eight syllables. What makes
the monotetra so powerful as a poetic form, is that the last line contains two metrical feet, repeated.
It can have as few as one or two stanzas, or as many as desired.<\/p>
Stanza Structure:<\/p>
Line 1: 8 syllables; A1
Line 2: 8 syllables; A2
Line 3: 8 syllables; A3
Line 4: 4 syllables, repeated; A4, A4<\/p>

------------------------------------------------------------------------<\/p>
PARADELLE<\/p>
A paradelle is a difficult French poetic form first used in the eleventh century. \u00a0This fixed form of
poetry consists of four six-line stanzas with a repetitive pattern. \u00a0<\/p>
First Three Stanzas:<\/p>
The first two lines as well as the third and fourth lines of the first three stanzas must be the same
(repeat). \u00a0Where it begins to get difficult and become more of a poetic puzzle is when reaching
fifth and sixth lines. \u00a0These lines must contain all the words from the preceding four lines within
the stanza using them only once to form completely new lines.<\/p>
Last Stanza:<\/p>
For the most difficult piece of this poetic puzzle, the final stanza of the paradelle does not repeat like
the preceding stanzas, rather the final six lines must contain every word from the first three stanzas,
and only those words, again using them only once to form completely new lines.<\/p>
The Design is simple:<\/p>
Stanza 1: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4
Stanza 2: 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8
Stanza 3: 9, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12
Stanza 4: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18<\/p>
