It’s National Poetry Month…and I, Uhh, Invented My Own ‘Poetic Form’

Nerd-a-riffic, yes.
As in: it’s now “registered” as a new literary artistic form, the whole bit.
However, with ‘free verse’ being the norm these days rather than the exception,
it seems the most radical thing a poet can do is conform to a rigid structure.
I created one with regard to meter, stanza—the title, even.
The first piece I wrote within this form is published here:
The Battered Suitcase: April, 2009
And I expound upon the form in an interview here:
As usual, I’m wordy as Sweet F.A…
so feel free to scan down to where I explain the “Millennial Haiku,” if you’re interested.
Tongue/Cheek?
Fiercely wriggled, please.&.thanks
