Peter,
That's four terza rimas and counting. Am I the only "free verse". Oh the shame!!! :-)
I can't believe I got 'heroic couplets'... the shame...
Hey, I'm a verse form I've never heard of, a lai:
I'm the lai, with no sort
Of grave, solemn thought,
And I
Will never be caught
By miseries sought,
Nor sigh;
Where battles are fought
Or arguments brought,
I fly.
(If you were not a Lai you would be Blank Verse.) I wonder if I'm a lai because I said I'd be the little piggie who ate roast beef.
I am some sort of Welsh form with too few vowels and hidden center rhymes: Cywydd Llosgyrnog. (Not sure if this is an actual poetic form or if someone's hands got tangled over the keyboard). I am sure I was the market-hog.
Bizarre.
Heroic couplets.
Aha, a lai is "a medieval type of lyric poem ... composed in unsymmetrical couplets each sung to its own melody." I think I'm a lai because I said I skipped the battle scenes in Lord of the Rings.
Robert: I ate roast beef too. So who knows? I wanted to be a Pantoum.
Sonnet. This quiz has some of the oddest questions ever. :-P
