Thankful for Collaboration in Poetry
Thanksgiving in America is coming soon. For me, this is a time for spending time with friends and family, and enjoying each other’s company.
In the spirit of thanks giving, I found a couple of poems that were created by two or more poet’s. I have to believe that this meant they spent time and worked together to create the form---even if the time was completely online!
Dorsimbra
This poetry form was created by a collaboration of three poets: Frieda Dorris (Dor), Robert Simonton (Sim), and Eve Braden (Bra).
This unique poem has three stanzas that utilize three different meters. Because this may cause a disconnect between stanzas there are a couple of suggestions to keep the connection between the stanzas:
1) Cross and internal rhyme (See some examples of this in the second form featured after the Dorsimbra)
2) Enjambment
Are you always going to want to create interconnectedness between the stanzas? That depends on the topic and theme, etc. you are trying to create with your poem. Remember, when you write, write with purpose. Every word and every technique used should be planned for the effect you are going for in your poem.
MUST HAVES
--3 stanzas.
--4 lines per stanza.
--Meter depends on which stanza:
1) iambic pentameter
2) short lines of free verse
3) iambic pentameter blank verse—but, you must use the first line of the first stanza as the final line of the poem.
--Rhyme depends on the stanza:
1) abab
2) no rhyme
3) no rhyme
COULD HAVES or WHAT IS THE POET’S CHOICE IN ALL THIS?
-- Theme/topic.
LaJemme
This form is a collaboration between two poets: Laura Lamarca (La), and Jem Farmer (Jemme)
MUST HAVES
--4 lines per stanza for a total of 20 lines.
--5 stanzas.
--Meter: Iambic, but specific syllable counts depending on the stanza:
1) 10 per line;
2) 8, 8, 8, 6;
3) 8, 8, 8, 6;
4) 10 per line;
5) 10 per line.
--Rhyme scheme depends on the stanza:
1) End rhyme of abab with cross rhyme of the 4th syllable of the 2nd and 4th lines to the end rhyme of the 1st and 3rd lines and the 4th syllable of the 3rd line with the end of the 2nd and 4th lines;
2) No end rhyme (cdef), but cross rhyme of the 4th syllable of the 1st line to the end of the 2nd line and the 4th syllable of the 3rd line with the end of the 4th line.
3) End rhyme of gfdf with cross rhyme of the end of the 1st line with the 4th syllable of the 2nd line and the end of the 2nd and 4th lines with the 4th syllable of the 3rd line.
4) End rhyme of hihi with cross rhyme of the 4th syllable of 2nd and 4th lines to the end rhyme of the 1st and 3rd lines and the 4th syllable of the 3rd line with the end of the 2nd and 4th lines;
5) End rhyme of abab with cross rhyme of the 4th syllable of the 2nd and 4th lines to the end rhyme of the 1st and 3rd lines and the 4th syllable of the 3rd line with the end of the 2nd and 4th lines.
COULD HAVES or WHAT IS THE POET’S CHOICE IN ALL THIS?
-- Theme/topic.

Comments on last month's newsletter:
From: ClarityofClouds 
Comment: Thank you for shining a light on the topic of "dark poetry" in the Gothic genre. I had heard the term "Gothic" quite a bit but did not know the specific elements involved in writing it. I was also intrigued by the new form, "Candlelight" poetry. It looks like it would be very challenging to write a poem like this, so if I try to write one I'll look for some examples first. It's fun to attempt new forms of writing, and so thanks for providing details on how to do that.
From: shaara
Comment: Loved the quote by Robert Frost. Thanks for sharing it with me!
