Maryland, by Robert Hudson
Do you recall Maryland
& all that evening lake viewing,
or is it a music
once you hear that's now forgetting?
Perhaps there's some echoes
for some of us to ponder
& retire to Salem
with children that we cherish.
a poetry form is hard to find, how to write one is also different,
here is one of those we choose to try
- Quatrain stanzas (4-line stanzas)
- 7 syllables per line
- Lines 1 and 3 rhyme together, but they rhyme as three syllables (sse)
- Lines 2 and 4 rhyme together as two syllables (sh)
- The final syllable, word, or line of the entire poem should be the same as the entire poem begins (the poetic term for this is sheena)
- Poem can be as concise as one stanza and scale out as far as a poet wishes to push it
do write one today....
