TABB the EIGTH line FORM
this is a form based on John Banister Tabb,(the Virginia born )poet's The Evolution
I have labelled this imagist form 'a tabb' in his honour.
EVOLUTION
by: John Banister Tabb (1845-1909)
Out of the dusk a shadow,
Then, a spark;
Out of the cloud a silence,
Then, a lark;
Out of the heart a rapture,
Then, a pain;
Out of the dead, cold ashes,
Life again.
& here is one of mine in the TABB style
Tabb-The Search
Out of the dark,a glimmer,
Then a light:
Out of the sky,the mornng star,
Then a new sight;
Out of the night,to-morrow,
Then a new dawn;
Out of the wind,a sound,
New born
Inspired by John 3
