CENTO
A poem consisting only of lines from other poems. This, from the Italian word for patchwork, is almost a technique rather than a form, especially as it can be of any length, and any metre, and need not rhyme; however, as the finished poem is referred to as a cento, just as a sonnet is called a sonnet, it is a form.

ACROSTIC
An acrostic poem is one that uses the first letters of each line to spell out a word or phrase. More uncommonly, you can find a word or phrase through the centre of a poem (when it is called a mesostich) or at the end of the lines (which makes it a telestich). If the poem is written so that the first letters and last letters both write out a message, it is known as a double acrostic.

FALL IN LOVE
F eeling enraptured, Autumn dances in the wind, then undresses.
A s bright robes fall to the ground, her passion paints the twilight skies.
L ike a nymph, she beckons, tossing her fiery auburn tresses.
L ongingly she sighs - September’s bliss lingering in her eyes.
I ndian summer days come; then they go.
N ights though chill, embrace her in indigo.
L ater, in November, her sweetness wanes.
O ctober cannot stay forever loving her.
V acantly she gazes through freezing rains.
E ndearments whispered - cease - when Fall loses ardor.

This poem discusses what it feels like to be falling in love. The cool thing about an acrostic is that it could add an extra subliminal message to reinforce the meaning of the poem. In this case it reinforce the idea of falling in love. With eveery first letter of each line spelling “ Fall in love”.

Love Got Away
ReplyDeleteI see you drift away in the dark
Seeking out another soul
After your heart left me
I see your loving leave
A place of calamity
And enter a place of danger
Oh, you were a tragedy
I see you with another heart
Wondering when you will feel the pain
After your heart left me
I see you are happy
And you did not cry a bit
Oh, you were a tragedy
I will get over you
Eventually find someone new
After your your heart left me
Its been years since you left me
I have not found anyone new
I know you are evil and cold blooded
After your heart left me
I chose a structured stanzaic form because I like my work to be chronological and structure.This reinforces the meaning of the poem because the events talked about in the poem go chronologically and are in a structured form. This structured form reinforces that the message and timeline is supposed to be structured.
Was it hard putting everything in chronological order? Overall I like how you used the word "love"
DeleteI really liked this poem but,you did constantly use the phrase "I see" but, other than that i love the poem and i love the way you described love. Why did you decide to use this form of poem of all?? was it to challenge yourself??
DeleteI feel that this form of poetry was highly effective for the love theme of the poem. The structured form of the poem definitely achieves your desired purpose which was to show a chronological timeline of this tragic love story. Excellent job!

2.Poem Example and source:http://www.webexhibits.org/poetry/explore_classic_tercet_examples.html
From Second Satire
Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42)
My mother’s maids, when they did sew and spin,
They sang sometimes a song of the field mouse,
That for because their livelihood was but so thin
Would needs go seek her townish sister’s house.
She thought herself endured to much pain:
The stormy blasts her cave so sore did souse...
3.This form is used to reinforce meaning in the poetry example because of the pattern, it follows an

FRIENDS By: Dio’yanay Hicks
F ights for you

I chose Friends because I was showing my meaning for the word "friends" and it allowed me to let the readers know the overall meaning/theme to my poem
DeleteThe use of acrostic form in this poem makes it seen that she is talking about her friends and makes it more memorable.
DeleteThe form used gives a description of what it means to be a friend without mentioning the word friend
DeleteI really like your poem Dio'yanay. By this poem form you reinforce the meaning of your "friends", and we can understand what they mean to you and what they do for you. Well done!
Deletethe form in the poem was used to simply show how friends will be towards you shows the description of the relationship between you and friends

1. Cento poetry- From the Latin word for “patchwork," the cento (or collage poem) is a poetic form made up of lines from poems by other poets. Though poets often borrow lines from other writers and mix them in with their own, a true cento is composed entirely of lines from other sources.
2. With lines from Charles Wright, Marie Ponsot, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, and Samuel Beckett, the staff of the Academy of American Poets composed the following as an example:
“In the Kingdom of the Past, the Brown-Eyed Man is King
Brute. Spy. I trusted you. Now you reel & brawl.
After great pain, a formal feeling comes—
A vulturous boredom pinned me in this tree
Day after day, I become of less use to myself,
The hours after you are gone are so leaden.”
3. Modern centos are often witty, creating irony or humor from the juxtaposition of images and ideas. Two examples of contemporary centos are “The Dong with the Luminous Nose," by John Ashbery and Peter Gizzi’s “Ode: Salute to the New York School.” Ashbery’s cento takes its title from the poem of the same name by Edward Lear and weaves together an unlikely array of voices, including Gerard Manley Hopkins, T. S. Eliot, and Lord Byron. Gizzi employed the form to create a collage of voices, as well as a bibliography, from the New York School poets.

More uncommonly, you can find a word or phrase through the centre of a poem (when it is called a mesostich) or at the end of the lines (which makes it a telestich). If the poem is written so that the first letters and last letters both write out a message, it is known as a double acrostic
2. Elizabeth
Elizabeth, it surely is most fit
[Logic and common usage so commanding]
In thy own book that first thy name be writ,
Zeno and other sages notwithstanding;
And I have other reasons for so doing
Besides my innate love of contradiction;
Each poet - if a poet - in pursuing
The muses thro' their bowers of Truth or Fiction,
Has studied very little of his part,
Read nothing, written less - in short's a fool
Endued with neither soul, nor sense, nor art,
Being ignorant of one important rule,
Employed in even the theses of the school-
Called - I forget the heathenish Greek name
[Called anything, its meaning is the same]
"Always write first things uppermost in the heart."
-Edgar Allen Poe
https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/elizabeth/
3. Acrostic poems are fun and a kind of code. In poetry, it used to hide a message in plain sight, while simultaneously describing it. In Elizabeth, Edgar Allen Poe uses acrostic form to talk to the subject, Elizabeth.

-Staff of the Academy of American Poets With lines from Charles Wright, Marie Ponsot, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, and Samuel Beckett
https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/text/cento-poetic-form
3. A poem could choose to use cento form to alluse to other poets while making a message of their own. In this case, the staff used cento form to talk to their subject, a traitor the narrator once knew, using lines from other poets. This adds emphasis on the words that are known worldwide.
Cento- Fixed Form
Everywhere we are
Everywhere we go
Everybody knows
Girls like girls like boys do
Nothing new
And I will always love you
I chose cento form because I often use other people’s words to describe how I feel, because it is easier than trying to make my own words. Cento form fits this poem because the words work perfectly together. I am able to choose what lines I want however I want them, and that they are so widely known makes them not only recognizable, but more likely to be retained.
I like how you arranged your poem..
DeleteExcellent work Ms Poston. Your use of cento is flawless as it combines the different lines of poetry into one understandable poem that is not all over the place.
DeleteI really like that this poem makes you have to think and use your mind to better understand it.I love the way you decided to set this up this way. Were you trying to make your readers think about your poem or did it just turn out that way??

Such judged that passion’s not a value gained.

Pink and perfect mystery

the longer that I linger

with my gentle loving hand,

so that now I understand
how beautiful the flower
that yields without duress,
blooming now so fully
in the warmth of my caress.
This form helps reinforce the meaning because, it flows very beautifully and it all connects seeming like different events taking all of them and taking into one and making into one. I love how this poem talks about things she dont want to forget.

PANTOUM
This can be of any length; it is a poem of four-line stanzas, in which the second and fourth lines of one stanza become the first and third of the next. The last stanza's second and fourth lines can be the first and third of the first stanza, either reversed or not, which locks the poem into a circle of repetitions or, as the poet Marilyn Hacker says, "until it ends up with its tail in its mouth".
In The Backyard By.Catie Lindsey
While watching the stars way up high,

My thoughts drift to another time,
another place, where innocence was bred,
four sisters, all in childhood's prime,
talking and giggling as we climbed into bed.
Another place where innocence was bred,
when the night was dark and the stars shone bright,
talking and giggling as we crawled into bed,
counting the shooting stars in the sky at night.
When the night was dark, and the stars shone bright,
after a long and exhausting play day,
counting the shooting stars in the sky at night,
all our cares, just up and flew away.

Clerihew: Named after its inventor, this is a four-line poem rhymed aabb; its first line is the name of the subject of the poem, it often breaks into two sentences at the end of the second line, and the rhythm tends to be entertainingly irregular.
Example: Auden's "Literary Graffiti" Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerihew#Examples

Use: This form is used to reinforce the meaning of comedy by it being in short a funny, whimsical poem that focuses on a single person.
DOUBLE-DACTYL
This one is normally reserved for nonsense verse. 8 lines, all consisting of two dactyls (hence the name). Line 1 is a nonsense word (such as "higgledy-piggledy"), line 2 is someone's name, line 6 is a single six-syllable word, and lines 4 and 8 rhyme.
Higgledy Piggledy by Ian Lancashire
Higgledy piggledy,

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/resources/learning/glossary-terms/detail/double-dactyl
The major purpose of dactylic rhythm is to create lilting movement and a break. Apart from this, it makes poems pleasing, as intrinsically it is delightful and makes it more meaningful by using stressed and unstressed patterns.
Cento-Fixed Form

I chose cento because Cento allows for you to take multiple poetry that share a common idea and intricately put that together to collaborate a story composed of all their meaning. Then I chose fixed form because it helps to act as a template to organize all the poem’s lines together neatly.

Pantoum - poem of 4 line stanzas, though the poem can be of any length. The last stanza’s second and fourth lines can be the first of the third of the first stanza that can be reversed.
Sleep, she will not linger;
She turns her moon cold shoulder
With no ring on her finger
You cannot hope to hold her
She turns her moon cold shoulder,
And tosses off the cover,
You cannot hope to hold her
She has another lover.

3.The pantoum form of this poem helps to emphasize, not only the serious tone of the poem, but also the emotion of the speaker. The repetition of “she turns her moon cold shoulder”, and “you cannot hope to hold her” reinforce this idea of this woman being out of the reach of the speaker and his being desperate in want of attaining this woman.
I loved this poem. the repetition really helped reinforce the intended meaning with this one. I like the short style you used but you used it so well that within the short amount of stanza you were able to have you portrayed so much to the audience. absolutely great read.

My Continuous Poem:
Society
Always changing with your double standards,
And making it hard for those who want change,
Society always complicate things;
With their strict rules and regulations
Of how a young man and woman should act
And how the rich is better than the poor,
We will never be able to change ourselves
Or be able to express ourselves fully,
If Society never changes.
This poem relates to continuous form because it explains how hard society is for people who live in one with strict rules and regulations, but since it doesn’t break until the end, it makes the poem seem like one thought that’s ongoing.
I like the meaning of your poem also how it somewhat of paradox in how society changes but we need it to change some more in order to be accepted.

2. PANTOUM
This can be of any length; it is a poem of four-line stanzas, in which the second and fourth lines of one stanza become the first and third of the next. The last stanza's second and fourth lines can be the first and third of the first stanza, either reversed or not, which locks the poem into a circle of repetitions or, as the poet Marilyn Hacker says, "until it ends up with its tail in its mouth".

Greetings by Jaylen Williams
How are you today?
I feel great. Could be better.
Thank you for asking.
I used fixed form for my poem. I wrote a haiku about a simple greeting between two people. The haiku emphasizes how a simple greeting could make someone’s day.
I like this poem because it's true. There has been multiple stories told about how someone's politeness made a person's day better. That's why teachers always greet their students by the door instead of behind a desk.
DeleteI like your poem because of the simplicity it has plays into the overall meaning. the poem is short and simple and reflects that of the meaning that something as simple as a polite greeting can have a huge impact on a person's day

You fail some much that it makes you want to wail
But don’t ever give up, don’t be discouraged
‘Cause in the end you’ll be successful, but you must have the courage.
The form that I chose helps emphasize the meaning of the poem because it emphasizes the contrast between the feelings of failure. The first one talks about the negatives of failure. The second stanza talks about the positives of failure.

Explanation: I chose continuous from because I love how the sentences run over the lines. The form reinforces the meaning because it gives emphasis of all the work I have. In lines 5-6 “piles on piles” and “work, work, work” being on two separate lines emphasize how much work there is and also how much needs to be done. Also, in the first line the “Eleven years’ being on its own line emphasizes how long i have been doing all of this work.

This form uses a strict rhyme pattern and stays consistent to the central idea to get the idea the poet is trying to enforce across to the reader.
This thing is broken falling more into decay.
It molds and rots more and more day by day.
It so dearly wish it had not had to be this way.
But it is this way and it becomes clearer day by day.
It was fun while bit lasted and now i just wish to move past it.
I’m done and finished ready to put this into the casket.
I chose this form because it was different than what i was used to. I typically use free verse poetry with no consistent rhyme pattern or fixed form. The continued end rhyme in this poem makes the point of putting something behind more more emphasized and stresses the point of this particular thing once being fun and exciting is now broken beyond repair and putting it away is what the poet wants to do and thinks is the only way out
The end rhyme scheme and fixed form of the poem truly enhances the meaning and aids in emphasizing meaning. For instance, the repetition of the ending consonant sounds (consonance) "decAY" .. "dAY" .. "wAY" .. then "dAY" again help the audience see how the speaker is gradually dying day by day, minute by minute, second by second; this is a constant deterioration as made clear in how you structured the poem. This piece is great!

Hide in the shadows
The lies are never to be shown
The disguise never known
I chose a fixed poem because you can get a number of interpretations within the restrictions of expectations. People normally associate fixed poem with having certain restrictions on what we can or can't put, so I thought that it would be interesting to write a poem that allows me to do so little but have such a powerful meaning, that can have multiple interpretations. With this poem one can perceive it as being a monster of some sorts, but the way I see it is as someone hiding themselves, hiding under a disguise, and with this poem I made it so that it can mean different things for different people .
The use of the fix form for your poem really allows the reader to openly interpret it anyway they want. On the surface level it seems simple but when looked at on a deeper level it can apply to many people's experiences in life, making your poem easy for an individual to relate to.

Acrostic
An acrostic poem is a type of poetry where the first, last or other letters in a line spell out a particular word or phrase. The most common and simple form of an acrostic poem is where the first letters of each line spell out the word or phrase.
Example:
Floating, falling, leaves are flying,
All around, like trees are crying,
Love the cool winds autumn blows,
Last laughing rose before it snows...

Terza Rima
Is a rhyme scheme that uses tercets and an interlocking pattern of rhymes (aba bcb cdc ded and so on). Traditionally, a poem in terza rima ends with either a rhyming couplet or a single line that rhymes with the second line of the second-to-last stanza (e.g., ded ee or ded e).
Example:
Spring
(A) New life begins to spring to life in spring
(B) Green shoots appear in the April showers
(A) Birds migrate back home and rest tired wings
(B) Summer brings green fields full of bright flowers
(C) Paddling pools and ice creams all around
(B) The sun shines fiercely with all its powers
(C) Autumn sends leaves tumbling to the ground
(D) The sun sinks lower leaving longer nights

Free Verse- It has limitations of regular meter or rhythm and it doesn’t rhyme.Since it doesn’t follow the meter it still allow poets to use artistic expression.That way you can shape your own in the poem.And to get the full effect also, we can still use alliteration.So basically free verse doesnt follow the rules.
After the Sea-Ship by Walt Whitman
After the Sea-Ship—after the whistling winds;
After the white-gray sails, taut to their spars and ropes,
Below, a myriad, myriad waves, hastening, lifting up their necks,
Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship:
Waves of the ocean, bubbling and gurgling, blithely prying,
Waves, undulating waves—liquid, uneven, emulous waves,
Toward that whirling current, laughing and buoyant, with curves,
Where the great Vessel, sailing and tacking, displaced the surface;

Free verse reinforce its meaning by letting poets write an artistic expression.
Lyrical- It allows poets to describe about their innermost feelings or candid observations and evokes musical qualities.
James DeFord
Italian Sonnet by James DeFord, written in 1997:
Turn back the heart you've turned away
Give back your kissing breath
Leave not my love as you have left
The broken hearts of yesterday
But wait, be still, don't lose this way
Affection now, for what you guess
May be something more, could be less
Accept my love, live for today.

Lyrical poetry reinforces its meaning by knowing what the poet is feeling.
You can abuse me and lie to me
It won’t change who you are to me
You are still the love of my life
The one that I will always love
And the one who will cry when I’m gone
The one everyone would suspect killed me
The one who goes to jail for my death you abused

Dive.
ReplyDeleteDive deep.
Search.
Search complete.
Ponder.
Ponder and keep
what you dove; you dove deep.
I chose this stanzaic form of poetry for this poem because I feel that it brings out the curious tone of the poem. “Dive”, “Search”, and “Ponder” are all commands. In putting them in stanzas, along with the periods, these otherwise normal words become calls to action that encourage the audience to explore the world around them, search and dig deep for the answers to their questions or wonders and don’t immediately dismiss what they may consider as “crazy”. The whole point behind the poem is to show people that, often times, the only limit we have is ourselves. Instead of addressing our fears and inquiries, some shy back feeling that it could just be them or that what they are thinking is sheer ridiculousness. But even how brief the poem is goes to show how really simple it actually is for one to use the resources at their disposal; just do it! Many would be amazed at what they could find.
I really like how you worded the poem. I kind of interpreted the poem somewhat as you did but I saw it more as if someone is searching for something that brings the happiness, pursues it, and then achieves it, never letting it go.
DeleteI 100% agree with the fact that this style of poetry brings out curious thoughts about the allegory behind the poem, especially if your person who loves poetry and is a deep thinker.
