For sometime, my mind has been wondering endlessly as to what could I create as a poetry form/style that no one has ever heard of yet is willing to take the risk at trying. With two versions, the traditional and modern, you'd have fun while taking the challenge (Modern version will be posted at a later time).
...And so, here it is:
Traditional
A->9
B->11
C>9
C>9
B>11
A>11
D>9
E>9
F>11
F>9
D>11
E>11
E>9
3rd stanza:
Line 1(repeats line C2 of first stanza)
Line 2(refrains syllabic count of D2 of second stanza)
Line 3 (repeats line A1 of first stanza)
Syllabic count is enneasyllabic or nine syllables per line with incorporating syllabic count of hendecasyllabic or eleven. Traditional poem requires end rhyming with matching end consonant and/or vowel but line four of the stanza DOES NOT need a matching end consonant and/or vowel and line six of simply rhymes With alternating stanzas of six, seven, and three (stanza length is three for traditional whereas modern stanza length is up to you). The third stanza rounds off the poem with only two lines from the first and third stanza repeating while the second stanza requires that the LAST syllable be the same as number as it's counterpart

Any suggestion as to what to name/call this creation of mine is welcomed and moreover, I encourage you to give it a shot. I will see about hosting a contest for it soon.This is very original and not some copying from anyone else

give me moment

i agree with granny--seeing a write done in this form will be helpful. i am not trying to be sarcastic at all but when i saw all the 9 11's i had to chuckle. this sounds like it could be very eloquent so something with a graceful name will be perfect. i will think about it to see if i can think of something that may work. also, i admire you for thinking up a new form. that takes a lot of thinking, ingenuity and courage to post it. i admire that very much. viyanna r langager

Wondering if you coulld write an example in this for us to see one - might make it easier to visualize and find a atitle for this. Always interesting to see new forms created.

I look forward to a contest using your new form, perhaps at that point a name will come, great job!
