Robert Zimmerman: I developed the CUBE poetry style because I like to use an "economy of words" in much of my poetry.

CUBE is a style that is designed to be rhythmic and rhyming.
Here are the rules:

Definition of a CUBE: A CUBE consists of 4 stanzas (64 syllables). Cubes can be ?stacked? in groups to write longer works.

1. Each line has 4 syllables
2. Each stanza has four lines
a. 16 syllables
3. Each CUBE has 4 stanzas
a. 16 lines
4. Each stanza rhymes
a. a-b-c-b
5. Iambic meter

    damommy: I like the CUBE16 a lot. I may write some more of the soon. -


Robert Zimmerman: I stopped reviewing writing that has fewer than 150 characters. I will make an exception for limericks. If you write good limericks, I'm interested in reading them. I love limericks. 😁
    damommy: I know what you mean. It's hard to come up with enough to say about short posts, and the review ends up being longer than the post. 8-) -
    nor84: You can always do what I'm doing now. Write a short paragraph explaining how you review and that your review is meant to be helpful and then post it in the reviewing box. Add to that any comments you have about the short piece, and it will put you over that site limit. -
    karenina: What!? You don't subscribe to the law of diminishing returns? (smile)

    It is a struggle to write 150 characters about a one line poem!

    You're too funny--Karenina -
