How to write a tri-dodeca
(This must be followed exactly)
tri ... 3
dodeca ... 12
The tri-dodeca is a simple but challenging poetry form that consists of three stanzas of four lines each.
The unique thing about the tri-dodeca is that each line is exactly three syllables long.
There is no rhyming scheme and the style can be adapted to any format, as long as it follows the
three stanzas
four lines
three syllable per line
format.
Therein comes the challenge to writing this style.
There are no restrictions on subject with this poetry form, so it can be pretty much about anything.
I created this style while completing the 200 Poem Challenge, sponsored by the Poets Pub.
Here is the first official tri-dodeca that I wrote.
I hope you enjoy this new style.
