POETIC POWER

PROMPT ▼

This week's prompt is a poetry form:

ELEVENTH POWER Poetry Form
(invented by Christina Jussaume)

The form consists of:
• 11 lines
• 11 syllables in each line
• rhyme scheme: a-b-a-b-a-b-c-c-d-d-d
• must be written about an uplifting subject

Eleven syllables in eleven lines
Give you a powerful form of poetry
Uplifting, too - meaning it surely refines
Your perspective on whatever you do see
Revolutionising society's confines
Setting many innovative ideas free.

Try it! You'll find it a lot of fun to write
It will make a dull day very much more bright
I've discovered it myself now, thanks sister!
And now I can share my joy in a whisper
To gladden the heart of a Miss or Mister!

11 lines, 11 syllables each.
