"What makes a good poem? Brevity, terseness, spareness, viewing something new for the very first time, creating an image like no one has ever been blown away by before in their entire life."

The Short End of the Poetry Stick Part 2: A Few More Short Poetry Forms & How to Create Them
Writing for impact isn’t easy. It takes practice. Using short poetry forms is a great way to practice this because you are forced to say volumes with only a few words.
A few years ago I wrote part one and introduced you to the brevette, essence and monostitch. During my poetry research I found a few more short shot poetry forms to share with you today.
Miku
Kevin Taylor came up with the Miku poetry form. He’s taken the haiku and pared it down from the 5/7/5 form to poetry in a smaller form in order to create a more powerful piece. Sol Magazine said, “MIKU: from ‘minimalist’ (using simplest and fewest elements to gain the greatest effect) + ‘Haiku.’”
MUST HAVES
--No articles (a, an, the). Zero, zip, nada.
--Stanzas: 1
--Lines: 3
COULD HAVES or WHAT IS THE POET’S CHOICE IN ALL THIS?
--Rhyme: Up to the poet. However, since it’s a shorter form it may be more difficult.
--Meter: Poet’s choice, including no meter.
--Topic
The Lady’s Slipper
This short form was created by Viola Gardner.
MUST HAVES
--Number of stanzas: 1
--Line count: 3.
--Meter: Iambic trimeter (da DUM da DUM da DUM).
--Rhyme: Internal—each line utilizes internal rhyme.
COULD HAVES or WHAT IS THE POET’S CHOICE IN ALL THIS?
--Topic.

Comments on last month's newsletter:
No comments on last month's newsletter. So I'll take this time to ask you guys a question. What is your favorite short poetry form and why?
Here's my answer. I love Haiku and it's family: Senyru and Zappai. It was my first short poetry form, so it's close to my heart. |
