Lannet: Poetic Forms

From what I can gather online, this week’s form was created by Laura Lamarca. It’s sort of like a sonnet, but also sort of not like a sonnet.

Here are the guidelines:

  • 14 lines
  • 10 syllables per line
  • No end rhymes (only internal rhymes)

There are no rules for meter or subject matter.

“from one to another,” by Robert Lee Brewer

universe flat with dark matter and that
sense of chaos theory and electrons
and worm holes making time travel a real
impossible possibility and
probability probably a cool
correlated causality that we
calculated as a calamity
while we ran many miles along the streets
with our arms and hands and legs and feet and
a willingness to travel from one place
to another and then yet another
