 |  Poetry Forms Easily Explained - a work of Bianca with additions by kansaspoet

| I was researching another form when I ran into this one. The Trois-par-Huit was developed by Lorraine M. Kanter. It is in a way an adaption of the French Huitain, but do not underestimate the form - it is more difficult than it looks at first sight. The guidelines for this form:  The poem contains out of three stanzas. Two combinations are possible:3/3/2 lines and 3/2/3 lines according to the guidelines found.The poem has eight lines in totalThe poem has a rhyme scheme A/A/B/B/B/C/C/C No matter how the stanzas are divided, the rhyme scheme stays the same.The poem has a syllable count 3,6,9,12,12,9,6,3 syllables.The last line summarizes the meaning of the poem.The poem needs to be centered!!!My example: Emptiness of the soul Brain breakers think! puzzled; mind shakers there must be a key; it's hard to find to solve this tough puzzle and satisfy my mind word for word, layers of hidden rhymes I unwind. Gone is the magic, like a black hole my brain needs a new goal... Soothe my soul!
