Seven Five Trochee
Here’s a little form I found,
from a gal you know.
Trochees give a rhythmic sound
to its metered flow.
Lines must take syllabic care,
keeping proper score:
seven on the first and third,
five on two and four.
----------
The '7/5 Trochee', found on poets collective, by none other than Andrea Dietrich. Trochaic meter, 7/5/7/5, using abab or abcb rhyme.
