Tranquil Waters

Tranquil Waters is an invented form (aren’t they all) created by Robin Richardson Jr. writing as Sector-Hunter on Allpoetry.com.

It is Stanzaic, consisting of any number of quatrains.
It is Syllabic, 5/4/4/3
It is Rhymed: xaxa, with unique rhymes each stanza.
There is no metric requirement.

My example

Planetary Etchings (Tranquil Waters)

If Velikovski
is proven right
old beliefs it
will indict.

The cosmologists
who rule today
will rewrite their
dossier.

Electricity
not gravity
played the larger
role you see.

The proof’s on our earth,
and it’s on Mars!
Birkeland currents
fuel our stars.

Example Poem
A Nibor
is a bank rate
of exchange
in Norway.
It is also
poetry.
Invented
here, on A. P.
by our own.
Its requirements are
that you know how to count
and limit yourself
by lines within stanzas.
Also you must use
a specific number
of syllables in
each particular line.
Three tercets to start.
Followed by three quatrains.
Three tercets to end-
almost; there’s one more line.
It is its
stanza alone.
and must rhyme.
Restrictions
to free-form with
no reward.
You need not
even know what
meter is.
It that hot?
