商品描述: We thought it would be helpful to include examples of as many of these forms as possible. These would be useful for reference purposes and would also, it was hoped, be of interest to poetry lovers. Some of the forms are so lengthy that they never occur in literary competitions, but the contributors rose to meet the technical challenge these complex forms presented, and so we have both the thymed and unthymed sestina, the five-verse ballade, the rondeau redoublé, the pantoum, the chant royal and many others. The lighter forms of verse - limerick, clerihew, double dactyl, ruthless rhyme, etc., have been grouped into a separate section, as have those verses where a count of the number of syllables determines the length of the lines.
