Potlatch Club Challenge: Sheshire poem ~ week of 1-15-2021
The Sheshire; *comprised of three stanzas of 6 lines. *rhyme scheme of either ABABAB or ABCABC. *Completed by a rhymed couplet.
*Each line has the same number of syllables. [The one exception to this is the last line, which may have up to six additional syllables. The additional syllables must be a phrase that is set aside (by parenthesis or dashes, for example). If this aside is removed, the correct syllable count would be there and the line would remain a reasonable sentence.]
*Each stanza should have a shift in tone. THIS IS IMPORTANT ~ IT IS A PIVOT ~ A CHANGE IN TONE ETC.
*The ending couplet should leave the reader (or at least the poet) with a grin. It can be a darkly ironic grin, but a grin, nonetheless.
