Nonce Poetry: DoReMiDo

In celebration of National Poetry Month @murisopsis from A Different Perspective is once again hosting a poetic scavenger hunt. This year’s theme is “nonce” form poetry. What is nonce form poetry? Well, it’s basically a form that was created by a poet for their own use. What’s interesting about a nonce form is that if it is adopted by other poets and used more often it will no longer be considered a nonce form, but rather become recognized as a “valid” poetical form.

The scavenger hunt features thirteen nonce form challenges all to be completed within the month of April. I highly encourage you to check out the prompts and participate here.

Ok, now onto the sixth challenge…DoReMiDo

DoReMiDo

A poem of 4 stanzas of 4 lines per stanza and 4 syllables per line, for 16 syllables total per stanza. The four corners #1, 4, 13, 16 must rhyme.

Bonus: include a reference to singing or song
Sangeetha

This looks like a fun one. Simple but I anticipate not easy.
