What Poetry Form Are You?


I am, of course, none other than blank verse.
I don't know where I'm going, yes, quite right;
And when I get there (if I ever do)
I might not recognise it. So? Your point?
Why should I have a destination set?
I'm relatively happy as I am,
And wouldn't want to be forever aimed
Towards some future path or special goal.
It's not to do with laziness, as such.
It's just that one the whole I'd rather not
Be bothered - so I drift contentedly;
An underrated way of life, I find.
What Poetry Form Are You?


Sigh. I so wanted to be a cywydd llosgyrnog.

I took this quiz, or a similar one, ages ago; discovered I was a rubai!

Many thanks for Dodgson's Gaberbocchus, btw -- extremely enjoyable!

They say I'm a triolet (or maybe a clerihew). I could never /write/ triolets, though.
