Half-Eleven
Invented by Nina Parmenter, the form consists of four rhyming couplets and one final rhyming tercet (three-liner). There are two options for the final tercet.
Syllable counts and rhyme scheme are as follows:
...11 (A) 5* (a)...11 (B) 5* (b)...11 (C) 5* (c)...11 (D)...5* (d)
And then a closing tercet of EITHER:
11 (A) (Exact repeat of line 1)
5* (a)
5* (a)
OR:
5* (a)
5* (a)
11 (A) (Exact repeat of line 1)
When reality haunts my dreams, night or day,
I dream it away.
Fantasy fuels my imagination;
tempting temptation.
I live within a dream, dreaming that I live;
no sins to forgive.
My mind projects the reflection of a dream;
in a silent scream.
Reason has no say
and so slips away;
when reality haunts my dreams, night or day.
