One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

Creating a Poetry Form Part 2: Sharing our creations
Last month I talked about creating a poetry form, and asked newsletter readers to share their own poetry form creations.
I am happy to share the Metzic this month.
Metzic
BRIEF HISTORY
This poetry form was created by musician, writer, and industrial painter Redbc~call me nothing.  , who dreams of being a teacher. Since its syllabic count is based on the poet’s birthday, it made sense to carry this through to the form’s name, which was based on his name.
MUST HAVES
--Eighteen lines.
--Syllabic count: 1, 2, 1, 3, 8, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 8, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 8, 2.
--Rhyme scheme: A, B, C, B, C, D, C, D, E, E, D, C, D, C, B, C, B, A
COULD HAVES or What's The Poet's Choice In All This?
--Feel free to choose any theme.

Comment: G'Day, RRH, how are things? I saw this neat little NL on poetry and thought (like I always do) - WOW, someone creating poetic forms. Now I did some thinking about the number 13 and like the numbers 1,2,3,5,7 + 11 ... they are prime to be sure. 1 added to multiple primes get you there ... to 13 that is (1+3+7) as will 1+2+3+7) as well. I think that your very expressive sentiments in raising a child and considering the #13 as well indicates more on the radar that what people indeed may think. MANY folks consider 13 their luckiest number; the single numeral 3 is widely considered throughout The Peoples' Republic of China to be greatly able to bring Lady Luck as well. Go figure and thanks for the idea earlier with creating forms. Come to think of it, how beautiful is that ... creating a sonnet while creating, and now cradling a beautiful child. Now THAT surely is a dynamic duo right there! Peace be with you, Dr J

Comment: This was a great Newsletter, I like to read of Authors who attempt forms of their own. I have read some in the Traditional Contests over the years.

Comment: I think it is fascinating to create your own poetry form. Recently I tried a food poem form a gentleman created and wrote a poem in his form. I don't have the poetry knowledge yet to try my own hand at it but I am more than willing to try other poet's forms! Thank you for this newsletter.

Comment: Thanks so much for listing my new poetry form in your newsletter! You have inspired me to write more of these, perhaps a collection. I also enjoyed the other forms you listed and plan to review them all.
Thank you for your feedback!
