Creating a new form is one that has proved to be an exciting experience. When first presented with this challenge, it seemed rather daunting to have to find a new space in the poetic cannon as numerous ways to conquer poetry have been created. However, the task became less monumentous as time elapsed. The most difficult part about creating a new form is taking it serious in the literary cannon. The easiest thing to do when presented with a new idea or thought is to dismiss it as rubbish and try to find something similar, a precedence to cling to to make their travels through this new form more comfortable. When I was presented with my form for class, I fervently searched for something, anything similiar in style to make it easier in my construction of my poem. Alas, I was unable to find anything. However, after giving it a fair chance, the form really is unique and something that I might consider for future use.

  1. I completely understand the desire to search for a form relatable to the new style, if only to see it in practice. However, I think there is also beauty in jumping headfirst into this new structure in order to fully experience it.
