I got heroic couplets followed by the Triolet. The one that I most admire form-wise is the Descort. But the one I like the best flow-wise is the Terza Rima. Free verse is cool but it gets edged out a bit by the Descort for me because that one's more avant garde and manages to make a form out of it's freeness.

Ah yes, the sux, a fascinating form. If I remember correctly, it was invented by the one-eyed, one-legged, one-foot-tall itinerant Mesopotamian poetess, twice removed, Gertrude vón Hinterminter (her married name, of course, she being a descendant of Daimyo Affus McAffus Donald McDonald, deputy duchess of Winnipeg and private secretary to Buffalo Bill). The distinguishing feature of this form is—correct me, do, if I’m wrong—its unusual metric and rhyming rules, in which each fifth word has to rhyme with the word before it, though no other words in the line may rhyme, and the number of stresses per line must correspond with a random tone row as generated by this website.Well, something like that, at least. |

I’d probably have to investigate the descort a bit more… I haven’t seen any professional examples in English, and at first glance I feel like it’s one of those odd French forms that only worked for the troubadours—usually with more rules than we’re seeing. Wikipedia says, interestingly, that single stanzas rhyme, whereas most amateur English-language examples I’m seeing are basically just free verse. But I’d sure be interested in trying my hand at one.

I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile.
Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away
I let mine out, and chatter all the while.
I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day
Is any day that's spent without a friend,
With nothing much to do or hear or say.
I like to be with people, and depend
On company for being entertained;
Which seems a good solution, in the end
