I’m going to issue a challenge to y’all, but there’s no specific time limit on it as this could get rough. In exploring different poetic forms, I found a modern form that cracked me up and I had to try called the Paradelle. Here are the rules for writing one:
1. The paradelle is a 4-stanza poem.
2. Each stanza consists of 6 lines.
3. For the first 3 stanzas, the 1st and 2nd lines should be the same; the 3rd and 4th lines should also be the same; and the 5th and 6th lines should be composed of all the words from the 1st and 3rd lines and only the words from the 1st and 3rd lines.
4. The final stanza should be composed of all the words in the 5th and 6th lines of the first three stanzas and only the words from the 5th and 6th lines of the first three stanzas.
