"The Cleave Poem form is an experimental form created by Dr Phuoc-Tan Diep who states on his website for Cleave Poetry: In 2006 I came up with an idea for an experimental poetic form called the Cleave Poem.

How to read a Cleave poem? Simply: 1. Read the left hand poem as a first discrete poem. 2. Read the right hand poem as a second discrete poem. 3. Read the whole as a third integrated poem. In its most basic form it is three poems: ~~two parallel ‘vertical’ poems (left and right) ~~a third ‘horizontal’ poem being the fusion of the vertical poems read together." |

The lilibonelle is invented by one of the editors of Sol Magazine. Her name:Bonnie Williams "The lilibonelle has a basic form and an extended form. In this entry we take a look at the basic form. The basic form is four stanzas of four lines each, in which each line of the first stanza is consecutively repeated as the first line of each of the other stanzas, and allows for a variation where an extra final line may be included. Use an introspective or reflective theme with this form, one that conveys a loving, wistful or poignant feeling. That works out in this pattern: Pattern: Stanza 1 line 1 Stanza 1 line 2 Stanza 1 line 3 Stanza 1 line 4 Stanza 2 line 1 repeats Stanza 1 line 2 Stanza 2 line 2 Stanza 2 line 3 Stanza 2 line 4 Stanza 3 line 1 repeats Stanza 1 line 3 Stanza 3 line 2 Stanza 3 line 3 Stanza 3 line 4 Stanza 4 line 1 repeats Stanza 1 line 4 Stanza 4 line 2 Stanza 4 line 3 Stanza 4 line 4 " |
