A fascinating form Tom, it looks too complicated for a simple poet like me but I may be tempted to give it a go one day. I do find the complicated names of some of the forms a little intimidating !:-) hugs Jan xx

I do remember this form from a while back I do. It certainly is an unusual form it is. I'm sure Kim Rodrigues wrote a verse based on this form im sure. Tom

She did Tom, under the now old rules, however, I could stick by them and come up with a new name for this format mmm? As is on looking I found a form limited to five words in the first line of which were, in turn, repeated only at the beginning of the following lines, Emmett poetry, it was linkened to the acrostic form going to some more research. As I said the old form, which you made good use of in your comment does not apply to this amended version. Working on it. Mick
