Writing Poetry Pen perfect phrases Patiently picking pronouns Paramour poet One overbearing Obsession overriding Other obstacles Edit each error Exquisitely expressing Expressions essence Time to type today Tomorrow take time to talk Titillating truth Line count: 12 Form: A Meriaku, created by Ralph Zpheitor combines two different poetry forms (1) an acrostic and (2) a haiku into a single form. An acrostic is a poem that spells a word or phrase using the beginning letter of each line. A haiku is a three-line poem composed of 5-7-5 syllables. In a Meriaku, all the words in a stanza begin with the same letter. Together the stanzas spell out a word or phrase. A Meriaku does not require a nature theme. The word spell out can be, but this is not a requirement, the title or subject/theme of the poem. |
