Thursday Poetry Forms (Poetry for Dummies) Week 7

Hello, this is Ava with the lovely CC Champagne to guide you through the deep ocean of different poetry forms. This week we are going to create a list of some the different poetry forms, with a little definition of each. Later, of course we will go more in-depth in to all of these. This week, I would like all the readers to pick out which one we should do next. (DISCLAIMER: Your input is greatly appreciated, but we may not be able to create a post for that particular form the following week. However, we will get of it as soon as we can.) So put on you wet suit, goggles, flippers and oxygen tank and dive in. If you have any questions, let me know!

Here is the list I have compiled:



Abecedarian 


Anapora 


Ballad 


Ballade 


Blues Poem 


The Bop

These are some of the more common ones. If you do not understand, please let me know and I will find a more user-friendly site for you. My mission is for all the readers to comprehend reading. If you do not, I am more than happy to help!
