Abandoned by a thoughtless world,
Inured to taunts of shame,
The rootless wander unfulfilled,
Their dignity aflame –
Human but in name!

I like the style too, I’m no poet I think I’m too wordy. I do like writing poetry however, I enjoy the craftsmanship of it…using forms etc

I enjoy this minimalist style….by no means easy….certainly challenging. 😉

have you done a villenella? I am trying one, it looks challenging. I am toying with a Sestina, but I almost need a calculator…:-)

These longer ones do not appeal to me as much as do the more minimalist….Not sure whether the longer ones are more challenging than the more succinct…. 😉

this is very true, it is more difficult to trim wording down than to use more. I do enjoy the challenge of new forms though. I like to read poetry that rhymes and resonates to a pulse.

My villenella is fun, but a bit over-done. I just write it and it appears on paper, sometimes I don’t even know where it comes from. 🙂

Yes……Being able to keep to the ‘form’ becomes an art…very satisfying. 😉

sort of a puzzle, I always like that sort of thing. I do get carried away though and my in-progress villanelle is way out of hand. 🙂
