“Even lines make their own mini-poem if read separately. ”
Here are the basic guidelines for this poetic form:
Invented by the poet Candace Kubinec.
10 lines
Even lines are two syllables in length; odd lines are longer (but no specific syllable count)
Even lines make their own mini-poem, if read separately.
Sample poem by the creator herself
On the Bench at Night
I sit as still as a human can-
patient
The sun haas set and dusk has settled-
quiet
I try to match my breath to the gentle breeze-
calmly
Small creatures emerge from daylight hiding places-
searching
And my heart sends out a quiet message-
for you
Note that the even lines are read separately, they make a micro-poem
For this event, write at 1-stanza waltmarie on any topic of your choosing.
