Week 44 Form: Ravenfly
Form: Ravenfly  Open in new Window.
A poetry form created by Amanda J. Norton.

Number of Lines: 10 (a decastich)


Rules:
This is a rhyming poem and it has three stanzas: 2 quatrains and a couplet.
The line length is based on syllabic count as opposed to meter, but it could very easily lend itself to tetrameter for the quatrains and pentameter for the couplet.

Syllabic count: 8-7-8-7, 8-7-8-7, 10-10

Meter:
Optional


Rhyme Scheme:
abab cdcd ee


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

Example:
Starry Night

The midnight sky was clear last night,
Full moon illumined the ground;
The heavens were a wondrous sight—
Sparkling stars shone all around.

I stood there gazing at the sky,
Entranced by their steadfastness;
A shooting star sailed quickly by,
But changed not heaven’s vastness.

Star-studded heavens like forever are—
My life as brief as that small shooting star.
