  1. Poetry Types- Part Two Here are some more styles with which to experiment.

  2. Villanelle • Villanelle is a nineteen-line poem made up of five triplets with a closing quatrain. The poem is characterized by having two refrains, initially used in the first and third lines of the first stanza, and then alternately used at the close of each subsequent stanza until the final quatrain, which is concluded by the two refrains. The remaining lines of the poem have an A-B alternating rhyme. The villanelle has been used regularly in the English language since the late nineteenth century by such poets as Dylan Thomas, W. H. Auden, and Elizabeth Bishop.

  3. Villanelle Structure Refrain 1 (A1) Line 2 (b) Refrain 2 (A2) Line 4 (a) Line 5 (b) Refrain 1 (A1) Line 7 (a) Line 8 (b) Refrain 2 (A2) Line 10 (a) Line 11 (b) Refrain 1 (A1) Line 13 (a) Line 14 (b) Refrain 2 (A2) Line 16 (a) Line 17 (b) Refrain 1 (A1) Refrain 2 (A2)

  4. Villanelle Examples Do Not Go Gentle Into That Goodnight- Dylan Thomas Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning theyDo not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how brightTheir frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sightBlind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

  5. Ruba’i • Ruba’iis a four-line verse practiced by Arabian and Persian poets. Famous for his rubaiyat (collection of quatrains) is the Persian poet Omar Khayyam.

  6. Ruba’i Examples •  Fireflies are flying over a coppice.  They are flakes of gold flying together. Stars are smiling in the sky by twinkling.I wonder can the gifts of God be counted with a finger

  7. Sijo • Sijois a short musical lyric practiced by Korean poets. It is usually written as three lines, each averaging 14-16 syllables, for a total of 44-46 syllables. • Unlike most Eastern poetry, Sijo often employs metaphors, allusions, puns and world play. • Tend to focus on Bucolic (pastoral), metaphysical and cosmological themes.

  8. Sijo Examples Sitting in the sun, mind full of dreams and heart full of love, Listening to the leaves in the trees as the wind slowly blows, No worries as she watches the day pass and the sun slowly set.

  9. Sijo Example Walking the streets to watch the needy and the poor The wealth that covers most of this country is lost Casting a dollar bill at each tear drop that breaks

  10. Concrete Poetry (similar to Shape poems, but better) • Concrete poetry is one of the more experimental poetic forms available to poets. • Concrete poems use space and sound to communicate the meanings of the words. • Words can cover other words; and the poem has trouble standing without the structure. • Concrete poetry is more visual than other poetic forms.

  11. “The 800″ We line up. We     wait    for   the  “set” and then gunblastexplosionbangandwe’reoff running inourfirst           circ           le,ourfirst lap, buttherealr aces tart sont he       se cond lap, and then we’re tumbling in from first to last.                                   

  12. Triolet • Has 13th century French roots linked to the rondeau or “round” poem. • Uses repetition: the first line of the poem is used 3 times and the second line is used twice. If you do the math on this 8-line poem, you’ll realize there are only 3 other lines to write: 2 of those lines rhyme with the first line, the other rhymes with the second line. • A diagram of the triolet would look like this: A (first line) B (second line) a (rhymes with first line) A (repeat first line) a (rhymes with first line) b (rhymes with second line) A (repeat first line) B (repeat second line)

  13. The Moving Sidewalk “The moving sidewalk is about to end,”and I’m not sure where to goto meet my long distance girlfriend.“The moving sidewalk is about to end,”repeats the disembodied voice againas the conveyor conveys me slow.“The moving sidewalk is about to end,”and I’m not sure where to go.

  14. Kyrielle • A French four line stanza form with a refrain in the last line. Must be at least 2 stanza long, but can be as long as you wish. • Can follow any of the following rhyme schemes: • aabb • abab • aaab • abcb

  15. She’s Not a Pretty Singer Evening cell phone conversation–he rakes his hair with long fingersthat were once filled with devotion,though she’s not a pretty singer. He never was a man to say,“baby,” or let his eyes linger,and she only likes boys who stay,but she’s not a pretty singer. So he offered his warm coat toanother to start a fling heraging looks could never undo,and she’s not a pretty singer. Some say she moved to anotherstate and made her name selling orbuying something, though why botherwhen she’s not a pretty singer?

  16. A French four line stanza form with a refrain in the last line. Must be at least 2 stanza long, but can be as long as you wish. • Can follow any of the following rhyme schemes: • aabb • abab • aaab • Abcb Evening cell phone conversation–he rakes his hair with long fingersthat were once filled with devotion,though she’s not a pretty singer.

Some say she moved to anotherstate and made her name selling orbuying something, though why botherwhen she’s not a pretty singer?

  17. Bop • The Bop is a poetic form that was developed by poet Afaa Michael Weaver at a Cave Canem summer retreat. • Here are the basic rules: • 3 stanzas • Each stanza is followed by a refrain • First stanza is 6 lines long and presents a problem • Second stanza is 8 lines long and explores or expands the problem • Third stanza is 6 lines long and either presents a solution or documents the failed attempt to resolve the problem

  18. Bop Example- Wasted Opportunities I watch a black cat descend from the moonon a ladder made of broken mirrors and spilled salt. At first, I’m shocked that no onenotices, but then, no one notices anything anymore, or at least, thatis what the experts say and why argue. Every bad sign is a chance to forgive our neighbors. Why argue with experts, because they don’tnotice the black cat or the ladder. They’re busy sharing their expertise with thosepeople who don’t notice anything (notanymore), because sometimes it takes sledgehammers to drive home nails of reason. Catsand ladders and moons and mirrors, they fallas the people don’t notice and explain every bad sign is a chance to forgive our neighbors. Thinking I’m in this alone, I decidethe only thing I can do is ignorethe cat descending from the moon on itsladder made of broken mirrors. Then Iwonder if that’s what everyone elseis doing–pretending to not notice every bad sign is a chance to forgive our neighbors.

  19. List Poem (aka Category Poem) • The list poem was used by the Greeks and in many books of the Bible. Two of the most popular American poems, Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” and Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl,” are list poems. • Basically, a list poem is a poem that lists things, whether names, places, actions, thoughts, images, etc. It’s a very flexible and fun form to work with.

  20. Short List Poem Example “Watching the Pirates” We watched them lose every Friday;first, they lost to the Beavers;second, they fell to the Vikings;third, they were knocked off by Elks;fourth, the Green Wave swept over them;fifth, the Trojans had their way;sixth, they succumbed to Spartans;seventh, the Skyhawks flew to victory;eight, the Rams clobbered them;ninth, it was the Golden Knights;in the tenth week, they finally won,but no one was there to see it.

  21. Shadorma • Shadorma is a Spanish 6-line syllabic poem of 3/5/3/3/7/5 syllable lines respectively. Simple as that.

  22. Shadorma Example She throws birdsat the school childrenon playgroundsmade of steelwho run intense spirals tothe chain-link fencing. Sad teacherswatch as they spiralinto airlike reversehelicopter seeds searchingfor their maple trees.
