A folder where I will group all of my poems using my newest form
alfred's spelling form :

The first word is not important. It is the departure point.
The following word must start with the second letter of the first word.
The next word must begin with the third letter of the first word and so on until the first word has been completely "spelled out."
Then, according to your poetic needs, you add another word, spell it out with subsequent words, and so on until you finish your poem.
There is no other requirement, but it's not as easy as it may seem, especially if you don't want to write completely abstract poetry.

Example :

love
         overly violent excitement
sex, enter Xérès*
two welcoming overlapping
partners again
         real tingling
         nervous
         exactly repeating,
         sing

These are the opening lines of "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.

Please let me know if you succeed with this form and if you would like, I'll post the links to your poems here.
