a) Terzanella
Define: Terzanelle
The Terzanelle is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets plus a concluding quatrain
in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet
is a repetend reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center
line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in the quatrain. The rhyme and refrain scheme
for the triplets is as follows:

1. A
2. B
3. A
4. b
5. C
6. B
7. c
8. D
9. C

13. e
14. F
15. E
16. f
17. A or F
18. F or A
19. A

b) Villanelle
define: Villanelle
A Villanelle is a nineteen-line poem consisting of a very specific rhyming scheme:
aba aba aba aba aba abaa.

The first and the third lines in the first stanza are repeated in alternating order throughout the
poem, and appear together in the last couplet (last two lines).

c) Sonnet (specify type of sonnet)
define: Sonnet
A Sonnet is a poem consisting of 14 lines (iambic pentameter) with a particular rhyming scheme:

Examples of a rhyming scheme:

#1) abab cdcd efef gg
#2) abba cddc effe gg
#3) abba abba cdcd cd

A Shakespearean (English) sonnet has three quatrains and a couplet, and rhymes abab cdcd efef gg.

An Italian sonnet is composed of an octave, rhyming abbaabba, and a sestet, rhyming
cdecde or cdcdcd, or in some variant pattern, but with no closing couplet.

Usually, English and Italian Sonnets have 10 syllables per line, but Italian Sonnets can also have
11 syllables per line.

French sonnets follow in this same pattern, but normally have 12 syllables per line.

d) Sestina
The sestina is a strict ordered form of poetry, dating back to twelfth century French troubadours. It
consists of six six-line (sestets) stanzas followed by a three-line envoy. Rather than use a rhyme
scheme, the six ending words of the first stanza are repeated as the ending words of the other five
stanzas in a set pattern. The envoy uses two of the ending words per line, again in a set pattern.

First stanza, ..1 ..2 ..3 ..4 ..5 ..6
Second stanza, ..6 ..1 ..5 .. 2 ..4 ..3
Third stanza, ..3 ..6 ..4 ..1 ..2 ..5
Fourth stanza, ..5 ..3 ..2 ..6 ..1 ..4
Fifth stanza, ..4 ..5 ..1 ..3 ..6 ..2
Sixth stanza, ..2 ..4 ..6 ..5 ..3 ..1

Concluding tercet:
middle of first line ..2, end of first line ..5
middle of second line ..4, end of second line..3
middle if third line ..6, end of third line ..1

the sestina sounds confusing but isnt... an example

Crimson Field [Sestina]

The men shot into the horizon
And watched as their friends fell
Their blood a painted river
Among the dusty battle fields
And with in their left breast pocket
Were smiles of the ones they loved

They fought for who they loved
They prayed towards the horizon
A cross placed in their pocket
Forbidden tears often fell
With dreams of grassy fields
And beautiful majestic rivers

The tears were their rivers
They were surrounded by no love
Captured within the prison of fields
Shot towards the horizon
And watched as the enemy fell
Placed a bullet with in their pocket

The safety, of an invisible pocket
Was all that protected them from crimson rivers
But even then one… by one… they fell
All for the ones they loved
Red and Black tinted the horizon
And grey swept through the fields

Poppies rose from filthy fields
And they placed memories in their pockets
Watched the sun set upon the horizon
As the soothing sound of the trickling river
Shared the perfect moment everyone loved
As finally the long awaited silence fell

So think of those who fell
Within the crimson fields
You are who they loved
You kept the smile in their pocket
Their souls have filled the River
And their hearts shade the horizon

For The final tear fell, and landed in the pocket
Of the soldier in the field, beside the bloodied rivers
Going home to the ones they loved, they set towards the horizon
