Ulterior ( a new form ) ( click wisely )

Hello fellow poets
This is a new form that me ( Phoenixonfire ) and My friend ( CrystalPhoenix ) has created.
The name of the form created is ULTERIOR .

First let me give you the example of this form:

Aura of Love

Underneath the beautiful moonlit skies
Rhythm of the music gently resounds
Bringing the change that will provoke life
Reviving the power of undying hope
Caressing the beats of our delicate hearts
Leaving the angst and pain alone
Deepest desires of love purify ... blemishing sorrow.

OK!  After reading this ..you might say It is an ordinary poem but it is not . There is a varied form used in it.

Look at it again..the first letter and the last letter of the each line.

Underneath skies
Rhythm resounds
Bringing life
Reviving hope
Caressing hearts
Leaving alone
Deepest sorrow.

This is another poem hidden beneath one poem . That is why this form is called ulterior because the poem hides another hidden poem..though not visible to us at the first step but when seen through...it exists. Sometimes we write poem and this form is there but we fail to realise what a beautiful multiple poems we have created.

How to make it ?
It is easy . This is the layout .
1) Chose the genre.
2) Chose the situation/scene or whatever you are talking about.
3) Then start writing two words together in a way that they make sense
    For Example: Black Roses
                  Slowly Rot s  and so on.
4) When you have made a little poem with each line containing two words , then you put words between them such that the new poem also makes sense to you.
5) Read the poem when your done..first the normal poem and then the first word and the last word of each line and see does it make sense..if
it does then give it a title and if it doesn't play with the words here and there , that would help you out.
6) Naming the poem which even a 2 year baby can do...

The poem is ready ...and if you can do this another new form of poem called ulterior has been taken over.

Here are some people at AP who have written this form:

    WOW! How cool to have created a form of your own, congratulations! I will try to try my hand at this If I do, I will let you know. Thank you for the lovely example and pristine explanation. Thank you for the poem links as well. Will take a quick look. I have just one question: Can the poem be any length or has it to be a short say 10-15 line poem?

    Love,
    Charishma

    pretty interesting, it seems like the temptation would be just to throw a bunch of adjectives in the middle, but if you take the time and really work at it, you could probably make something really beatiful.. i like it. forms like these help raise consciousness of a poet to detail, a trait that all great poets seem to have...

    This is an interesting new form. Not as complicated as I thought it was going to be, but one that would certainly cause the writer to think about their choice of words. Maybe you should consider creating a contest where people have to write in this form. Thanks for sharing, and take care, Heather x
