Please post your poem as a reply to this post. Day 8 and we have a poem style that is written in eight lines of eight syllables: the Octain Refrain  You have a couple of choices today with this form: 1st: although each line must be eight syllables, you have the choice of using eight syllables, or you can use iambic or trochaic tetrameter if you prefer. 2nd: you can layout the eight lines of your poem in any of the ways described (either in stanzas of 1-3-3-1, 3-3-2, or all 8 lines in one stanza) 3rd: you can write either a standard Octain Refrain or a High Octain Refrain Watch out for the slightly more complex rhyme pattern of this form - there are end rhymes as usual, but there is also an internal rhyme on the fifth line. The fifth line must contain two words that rhyme, such as: These keen eyes trace a joyful face. |
