A Reverse Rispetto
A chapter in the book Little Poems
Overlooked
by Treischel
Overlooked
(A Reverse Rispetto) When I chanced upon this lovely thistle, Covered throughout with its parts that bristle. Under my gaze was this overlooked sight, Tiniest petals of purple and white. Often considered a sticky weed bud, Many people think this plant is dour With its reputation dragged through thick mud. Actually, it's a beautiful flower. |
Sometimes we overlook the beauty in things due to stereotypes. This is considered an obnoxious weed.
This poem is a Reverse Rispetto.
A Rispetto is an Italian poetic format consisting of two quatrains with a changing rhyme scheme. In the first quatrain is abab rhyming. In the second is aabb rhyming.
The meter is usually iambic tetrameter (but for a Reverse Rispetto it becomes trochaic tetrameter, the opposite of iambic) with a rhyme scheme of abab ccdd (but for a Reverse Rispetto the order is switched to aabb cdcd). So the Reverse Rispetto is the opposite in both rhyme scheme and meter.
Rispetto, ( Italian:respect,) plural rispetti, a Tuscan folk verse form, a version of Strambotto. The historic Rispetto lyric is generally composed of eight hendecasyllabic (11-syllable) lines. In its earliest form the rhyme scheme was usually abab abcc. Later, the scheme abab ccdd became popular.
