New poetry forms

Blog Posted:8/20/2021 9:37:00 AM

Seems to be on hold ...

I’m having fun with this form, which kind of came to me. I call it Quietus. 

First stanza is 4-lines, end rhyme abab, syllable count 8-6-8-6. The second is a tercet (ccc) with 6 syllable count for each line. The last is a couplet of equal syllable count where the last line is the same as a short refrain taken from first line of the poem. The refrain is also the poem title.

Examples:

If we consider this mind-body entity … what we label as Sam, to be a receptor, a non-doer, whose impulses come from soul, an aspect of universal consciousness, the inspirations, articulations are then not ‘owned’ but merely reflected. Hence auto-pilot

Interesting. Hopefully we pay attention to that inner "resonance" and "vibration" that bubbles up whose life and voice cannot be resisted once released. I think it would be sad if we only wrote on auto pilot and refused to recognize the miracle that is happening within us - a miracle of articulation that gives rise to miracles in other souls.

Why would one write, if not a calling from within? Of course, as a resonation to chosen vibration and thereby, we auto-write perhaps …
