Dorsimbra

American for fecking stupid.

"DORSIMBRA:  The Dorsimbra, a poetry form created by Eve Braden, Frieda Dorris and Robert Simonton, is a set form of three stanzas of four lines each.  Since the Dorsimbra requires three different sorts of form writing, enjambment can help to achieve fluidity between stanzas, while internal rhymes and near-rhymes can help tie the stanzas together."


In other words, a stolen hodgepodge.


the truth is in a true poetic form
not some half-baked amalgam from which come
some messy hodgepodge verses, all that mourn
the death of all that history has run.

(but hey! if verse
is all you call it, I suppose
we're free to form
deformities.)

this challenge fails to teach me more than what
I have been taught before--form's form, and that
brings forth no knowledge of the earth (unless
the truth is in a true poetic form.)
