I may have accidentally created a new poetry form today, based on the concept of chiasmus inversus, or the inversion of parallel phrase elements. It was also inspired by a guy I saw sneaking around his neighbor's house

I like it.

The best part is that the inversions can be worked into other forms. I'd love to see a villanelle with chiasmus inversus.

Of course, I'd love to complete a decent villanelle with out inversions also.

Agreed, this is a fun form. I like!

I see your potential in using this style.
The technique is quite special,
And it brings me a smile.
In using this style I see your Potential.

Nice!

I may have to work on a sonnet with inversions also.

"quatrain"

what's cool is that the meter of the inverted line can be quite different from the original, leading to some unexpected rhythms/emphases.

[mckenzee]

Yes, and yes!

now if only I had the time...

[mckenzee]

and the (again, terminology fails me) forced mid-line rhymes.

Pardon me...

Been gone from LJ for a few days. I did notice that your most recent 4 posts have something to do with urination at some point.That is quite interesting.

*snicker*

I like the new poetry thing too.
