Week 36 Form: Brady's Touch
Form: Brady's Touch  Open in new Window.
Brady’s Touch is a decastich (10-line poem) created by Maryann Merryweather-Travis on November 2006, in honor of Allen Brady.


Number of Lines: 10


Rules:
*BulletP* 2 quintets (5-line stanzas) with a specific rhyme and syllabic count.
*BulletP* Line length: Each stanza follows the same pattern of 9-9-8-8-2 syllables.
*BulletP* Rhyme scheme: abxcd abxcd
Thus the second stanza is an exact replica of the first stanza in terms of line length and rhyme. The poem really has a nice sound, with the rhyming sounds being so far apart from each other.

Choices for the poets to make this week: Your poem can be about any topic.

Example:

Sitting Outside

Sitting outside all alone I am,
But the world is not quiet at all.
Listening, I hear wind in chimes,
A bubbling fountain, dogs, and boys,
A bird…

Sirens and horns from a traffic jam,
Rustling leaves in the trees standing tall,
But the laughter from two houses
Down from me is the sweetest noise
I’ve heard.
