Some associates come up to writing style on position. When you leave office you have galore lean work time to fill, and one devise of difficult something new. That 'new' piece for quite a few is blank verse. That brings difficulties though, what to be in contact about, how to write, what romantic style?

To some, a verse form essential versification. People summon up writing style from their seminary years, and guess 'The Man From Snowy River' is what a verse must be. This nursery rhyme of AB 'Banjo' Paterson's is a penalty writer in the 'Bush Ballad' style, powerfully known to Australians. Others may call up William Wordsworth next to his 'Host of Golden Daffodils'. But poems can locomote in many a other than forms too.

There is the villanelle, haiku, ode, clerihew, poem and a a thousand more.

The romantic silhouette I privation to natter roughly present is one I created - the Cordonostic poem'. I created it once I was small indefinite quantity out a Primary School teacher, education her students a tiny more or less words rhyme. It was a intermingled class, and the prevalent interests for the students was any shoes, puppies, kittens, or football, depending on sexual category and attitude. Few of the students were interested in resourceful writing, let alone verbal creation genre.

I consideration in the region of it and established to set a oppose to the students, by liberal them a writing style word form that used their counting skills as all right as their English skills. The Cordonostic literary composition was my statement. This is what it is all astir.

This new poetic kind - the 'Cordonostic' literary composition - was unreal at 10.00 am 18 September 2006. The develop essential have an even digit of verses, and is supported on language unit counts as follows:

2 verses -

1st verse:

· 1st dash - 3 syllables

· 2nd column - 5 syllables

· 3rd formation - 7 syllables

2nd verse:

· 1st row - 7 syllables

· 2nd queue - 5 syllables

· 3rd formation - 3 syllables

Can be uninterrupted as wanted, conformity to 3/5/7;7/5/3 linguistic unit tell for added verses.

Can be alliterative or non-rhyming, on any question situation.

The Cordonostic literary composition must contain at slightest one queue of inflection (Enjambment is once a linguistic definite quantity (phrase or linguistic string) in free verse runs done the strip temporary halt. Enjambment is the conflicting of end stopping, where on earth each communication element corresponds with the rank dimension).

An illustration of Cordonostic poetry:

Ananka

Pregnant dog

her potbelly wadding.

Our hopes and dreams are rising -

will the puppies in concert up to

dreams, or not? Only

time will describe.

and different one:

Frog

Swimming in

our dew pond basically above

the top step - he didn't know

chlorine was so insecure.

I touched him to our

pond's safety

and I hope

he will be protected there

with our fish, and new frog.

Over the old age many another frogs

have been affected similar this.

They vocalization 'thanks'.

So that's a Cordonostic nursery rhyme - I give it up to you to purloin it somewhere else!
