Dear Angeline

[Lauren Hynde]

Leave to Lauren to find bondage in geometry. I'll bet you were the teacher's pet!

Now that's clever.

Pluh! Sponge spoo all over my lips!

...or the other way around.

yes, that one, thank you

Ok Haiku.

I hear from a reliable source (and since there are never too many posts on the PB, I am sure you have heard it too, ) that Jim is good at this, but Angeline just posted has a sexy AV right now ... so ...

If memory serves, it is a three line 7 - 5 - 7 poem, or maybe it is not so static? What is the general consensus on how the (any) theme presents itself in this form?

Example - is there a beginning, end and middle? Or is it a statement, something totally metaphoric and then another statement, but a summarizing one?

This, I do no recall, and my high school books are completely useless, no surprise, there.

 

[CharleyH]

Lazily reading about trochaic stuff, elgiac quatrains and the like for Fool's challenge and I come across chapter seven titled: Traditional English Verse: other forms ... including "EXOTICA"

I skip to the page and find a rondeau. Why is rondeau under the title exotica in my poetry book? Is it inherantly a form of exotica, or is there another poetic form called Exotica, and if so, does anyone know what it is?

EDIT TO ADD: This book tells me nothing about it - just leaves me with rondeau and a ballade by Dante Gabriel Rossetti called the 'Ballade of Dead Ladies'.

Rondeau is originally a French form. The only explanation I can think of is that for the author of that book, being from across the Channel was enough to qualify the form as being exotica, i.e. different from the traditional English forms.

hmmm (thinking)

 

[CharleyH]

Ok, off with the proverbial old form HEADS. I ask every once in a while, but the avant-garde is dear to me, so .... can we not, particularly those poets: Ang, Fool, Eve and I am sure Boo, Monkey and Triss, not to mention all the others who may or may not write/know form:

Is there no NEW form to create? Have we exhausted all creativity? If nothing, or no form is called Exotica, (as previous) then why do WE NOT create it? If a form is old, why not revive it in a new way? WHERE does poetic passion lay? Poetry deserves a neo-renaissance, no?

Just a very post-modern, multiplicity ... of questions. Anyone care to answer?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I'm sure new forms come about every day. The trick is to keep them alive and thriving.

Did you ever write a Bob? Or a Hynde Hypersonnet?

Do I detect self-promotion?

PS: I did a Bob :| And where is Dear Angeline when I need her most?

I just got home from work. I had to teach math. My head hurts.

What was the question again?

Oh, well Lauren--the beotch--took my answer. I was gonna tell you to go write a Bob.

But you can invent a new form. Anyone can, right?

Have you written any ghazals or pantoums yet?

 

[Angeline]

Oh, the only form I ever invented here was boob-ku. You might want to ask someone else lol.

Lauren invented the hypersonnet, Icing Sugar, the Bob. Lauren wasn't there Ho-ku?

Yeah, I'm sure there's plenty of that around these parts.

I forgot all about the vile sonnet. Subconscious blocking, no doubt.

 

[Angeline]

Oh you got home? And had wine?

I had a bottle of Bar Harbor blueberry ale, which sounds disgusting I know, but it's actually pretty good.

And yes, boob-ku. I don't make these things up.
