EMILY the form
emily form is a 2(or sometimes 3) line paradox form
(I labelled it thus,as it was inspired by Emily Dickinson poem 1732).It may or may not have a title,uses a word with separate meanings,(or one that sounds the same,with a different spelling) with the intention to mean several things,therby to enhance the thought's ambiguity/enigma.
ED 1732 begins: My life closed twice- before it's close
and from SHAKESPEARE's Romeo & Juliet:
ask for me tomorrow- and you will find a grave man
and my 'emily' is
free by a sacrifice-
a sacrifice for free
