The hour of the form poem is upon us. This hour is dreaded and beloved.<\/p>\n

This year the form is the Sevenling. The creation of this form is attributed to Roddy Lumsden and it is based on the following poem by Anna Askhmatova.<\/p>\n

He loved three things alone:
\nWhite peacocks, evensong,
\nOld maps of America.<\/h4>\n

He hated children crying,
\nAnd raspberry jam with his tea,
\nAnd womanish hysteria.<\/h4>\n

\u2026 And he married me.<\/h4>\n

The idea is that the poem has seven lines. Lines one to three should contain three connected or contrasting statements or list three details.<\/p>\n

Lines four to six should contain three connected or contrasting statements or list three details.<\/p>\n

The seventh line should serve as narrative summary, punchline, or a juxtaposition.<\/p>\n

Sevenlings are often untitled and tend to be a little quirky and mysterious. To learn more about the sevenling you can go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
