I melded a Haibun, which is a prose poem followed by a haiku with a Bob and Wheel, which is often a part of a longer poem. A Bob and Wheel is a quintain with ababa rhyme scheme. The first line is 2 to 3 syllables and lines 2-5 each have 6 syllables. She is growing! Kim |

A Mirror Cinquain, then, is a 10-line poem (decastich) made up of two Cinquains, where the second is reversed, forming a mirror image of the first. So in summary, the Mirror Cinquain is A decastitch (10-line stanza) with an emphasis on the syllabic count of each line. Syllabic count: 2-4-6-8-2-2-8-6-4-2 It should express a complete thought, on any theme, and express any mood. Rhyme is optional. |

The rhyme pattern is: ABbc cccc cbBA (The capital letters are refrain lines.) I hope you enjoy this style. Kim |

Erudition, n: profound scholarly knowledge The Pleiades form was invented in 1999 by Craig Tigerman, Sol Magazine's Lead Editor. Only one word is allowed in the title followed by a single seven-line stanza. The first word in each line begins with the same letter as the title. Hortensia Anderson, a popular haiku and tanka poet, added her own requirement of restricting the line length to six syllables. |

A photo of the Felix Pedro Monument I took last night on the way home from Chatanika.
http://fairbanks-alaska.com/gold-rush-history.htm Here are the rules for the Golden Shovel: I used a quote from Felix Pedro himself. Take a line (or lines) from a poem you admire. Use each word in the line (or lines) as an end word in your poem. Keep the end words in order. Give credit to the poet who originally wrote the line (or lines). The new poem does not have to be about the same subject as the poem that offers the end words. |

The English word quinzaine come from the French word qunize, meaning fifteen. A quinzaine is an unrhymed verse of fifteen syllables. These syllables are distributed among three lines so that there are seven syllables in the first line, five in the second line and three in the third line (7/5/3). The first line makes a statement. The next two lines ask a question relating to that statement. |

Excerpt from an article on gardening from the Anchorage Daily News: For the newbies among us, let me be the first to point out that we wait until after the birch leaves are the size of a squirrel's ear to plant most things outside. This is a sure signal from Mother Nature that we won't have a killing frost and that the winter is really over. *The rule of thumb for Fairbanks is not to plant outside before Memorial Day weekend. Kim The Shadow Sonnet was created by Amera M. Andersen, may be written in any sonnet style. The Shadow takes place at the beginning and ending of each line as the words are identical or homophonic. Since all poetry was originally meant to be sung or recited out loud, homophonic words are acceptable, these are words that sound alike such as see and sea. (Rules: 14 lines, 9 or 10 syllables per line. The poem should have a volta or pivit; iambic pentameter is not necessary.) |

This is my wrap up poem for my NaPoWriMo book. I hope you enjoyed this month of Poetry. Kim The treochair is an Irish form. While there are quite a few mentions online, the only book that appears to mention it is Robin Skelton's The Shapes of Singing. Here are the basic rules: Variable number of tercets (or three-line stanzas) Three syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and seven in the third The first line rhymes with the third Treochairs employ a lot of alliteration |
