Noble is there any type of poem that focuses only on rhymes
E.G
Pound the alarm
So its sound shall be loud
Loud enough to cause wound
In a toddlers ear.

Thanks

Men or men, this punctuation of a thing is giving me nightmares... If I was writing an essay, its a walk in the park but when it comes to poems... Jesus!.

OMA4U:
I have got a lot to write. I will make sure I find time to write using these forms.

Noble4d, check this out

Grave of Beauty

I once saw an old man, a wayfarer, walking
Along the boulevard of loneliness of countryside roads
With hysterical laughter graced his lips

Wait! Old man, why art thou laughing in this forest wilds?

"Son, do you not know that when elders sweat
while they speak, it's not the salty liquid that trickles out
It is tears that flows from their grievous heart"

"Son, the death of canary digs the grave of beauty
So many lost buckles in the sandals of a cobbler
Black volcanic ashes, soon, will cloud our mansion"

Oh! Old man, why is thy teeth so clenched?

"Son, do you not see the squalling wind besiege our mansion?
Hurly-burly, hullabaloo shroud the hushed hush of peaceful serene
Backlash, balderdash taint the beautiful minds"

"Son, the rubber that binds our broomsticks is torn
Conflicts amidst the kings-let shaking our mansion
Nose-diving into filthy, green water of tadpoles"

Old man, Why art thou laughing again?

"Ahem, I am a little fragment of the mansion
My voice may never be hearkened unto
I only babble to shroud the tears on my lashes"

"If by chance, a new mansion is erected
I shall rejoice with you in the underworld
Where hopeless hope transcend me into"

If by chance, a new mansion is erected
Flinty rainbow scenes will sprout again
Phoenix will arise; Beauty will be exhumed from her grave

Hi Noble,in your sonnet lesson you said the lines of a sonnet always come in 10 paragraphs. Does it make it less of a sonnet if the lines are not in iambic parameter?

noble4d:


Hallo laykorn, iambic pentameter in sonnet is not compulsory but is Good cos it makes it more of sonnet and beautiful. Each of a sonnet must be 10 syllables long.

laykorn:

Okay sir. I wanted to say syllables not paragraphs. It was a typo. The first week assignments will be submitted tomorrow sir. I hope you and timpaker would be on ground to judge the best.

If you know how to use punctuations in your essay then placing them in poetry won't be a problem.

joseph1832:
Noble4d please I need your thoughts on this. Can you call this a poem?.

In brightest day
In blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power, Green lantern's light.

timpaker:


I'll call it a poem.
If it wasn't for the break, I'd have termed it a 'prose poetry.
But basically, I see a form of poetry known as 'Light poetry' organized in a 'Quintain (or quintet)'. Light in this context means that it is brief.
Again, I also identified alliterations in line 4 & 5 (though, the alliteration isn't heavy) but the rhyme scheme of ABBBB is quite adventurous.
The unpopular rhyming scheme of ABBBB used made it impossible for me to term it with another form other than this, but I'm quite certain that it is a Light poetry.

Bamibor:
I really do love what is going on here and its a pity I have missed out of it so far.
I really do hope to get involved and learn from the great minds we have here.
I am inspired!

timpaker:
Welcome!!! Are you ready to start? Cc: Laykorn

TROLAAN POEM
Trolaan, created by Valerie Peterson Brown, is a poem consisting of 4 quatrains. Each quatrain begins with the same letter. The rhyme scheme is abab.
Starting with the second stanza, you use the second letter of the first line of the first stanza to write the second, each line beginning with that letter.
On the third stanza, you will use the second letter on the first line of the second stanza and write the third each line beginning with that letter.
On the fourth stanza, you will use the second letter of the first line of the third stanza and write the fourth each line beginning with that letter.

Example coming next

Reyginus:
Thank you. But what exactly does this style add to the Poem?

noble4d:


Alryt, apart from the rhyming scheme which is ab ab, in this poem you begin the first line of the second stanza with the second letter of the first line of the first stanza. Same apply to other stanzas.

Best of luck.

Reyginus:
I read that. I am simply asking why the method? As in, does it convey ideas better?

noble4d:


Yes it convey ideas better, also the poet/creator major concern is to make the poem sound smart and interesting when reciting.

Reyginus:
How does it make poems better or good than other poem styles? Do you also know how meters work too? I mean their relevance to a poem?
