An Octogram
A chapter in the book Family
A Baby's Smile
by Treischel
|
 Recognized |
After writing several somber poems, I thought I'd lighten things up with a more upbeat poem. What better way than with one having a smiling baby girl. This one is my granddaughter Skylah Brooke. I loved this shot with the smile and tiger print. Hope you enjoy it as well.
This poem is an Octogram, one of my favorite formats. I've written quite a few.
The Octogram is a style of poetry invented by Fanstorian Sally Yocom (S.Yocom). It consists of two stanzas of eight lines each, with a very specific syllable count and rhyme scheme.
Syllable count is: 84848884, repeat on second stanza.
Rhyme scheme: aBabccbB ababddbB, where B repeats same text repeated.
No more than 16 lines.
