Kerf-few

I hate poetic forms
made up by unknown others
and imposed on undisciplined poets.

Enforcing rhythmic norms,
that free expression smother,
they appeal to accountants and stoics.

To me they are a curse,
they make me a rhyming jerk,
wrestling with syllables, I tweak and twerk.

I know of nothing worse,
this prompt I would love to shirk,
but I’ve done it now, a KERF. So much work!


This week's prompt is a poetry form:

KERF

The Kerf poetry form is attributed to Marie Adams.

Form rules:
12 lines made up of 4 tercets.
syllable count 6/7/10 per line for each tercet
rhyme scheme abc abc dec dec
