New Birthday, New Project

poetry forms in 100 days. I am pretty sure there ARE 100 poetry forms. I don’t know if they all have names, so once I’m done with the sonnets and cinquains (and, of course, sestinas) you may find me experimenting with ‘Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhyme type form’ or ‘Lion-And-Albert metre’ If I do this and you happen to know the proper name for the form, do please drop me a line.

I’ll also be doing variations on forms, so I’ll do all the different sonnet forms, a rhymed and an unrhymed sestina, things like that. If I really run out before day 100, I’ll just have to start inventing forms!

The project starts officially on my birthday: Wednesday the 14th of March 2012. I hope you will join me then.

    I love the idea, but am already daunted.
    I did a Sestina delineation chart in colour last week.
    didn’t actually write one yet.
