My stories

Its All So Crystal Clear ( A Tercet )

A tercet is three lines of poetry forming a stanza or complete poem.Here is an example .

The Sunken Kingdom (An Octave )

Songwriters and poets have used structures that stitch together words into a quilt that covers many themes . This is one of those .

This is an introduction to one of the worlds oldest poetic techniques,the Anaphora structure .

Mountain Meadows ( A Sijo )

The sijo is like the tanka, renga and haiku .
