• Parallelogram de Crystalline is an invented verse form with a thematic focus. The subject is a lover and the lover should be described through images of nature. It was introduced by Karan Naidu. The Parallelogram de Crystalline is:
○ a poem in 12 lines, made up of 4 tercets.
○ syllabic 3-6-9 syllables per line for each tercet.
○ unrhymed.

My thanks to Judi Van Gorder for years of work on this fine PMO resource.
My example
My Love Awaits (Form: Parallelogram de Crystalline)
Her dark eyes
beckoned to me like an
unlit cave needing exploration.
Cherry-red
lips accented by tongue’s
moisture were an opening flower.
The hills and
valleys of my homeland
wished their contours as pleasing as hers.
They whisper
on the evening breezes,
“Chase not follies; what awaits is life.”
