Re: Form of the week: Compound Word Verse


Compound Word Verse

The Compound Word Verse is a poetry form invented by Margaret R. Smith that consists of five 3-line stanzas, for a total of 15 lines. The last line of each stanza ends in a compound word and these compound words share a common stem word which is taken from the title. (In the example below the stem word is “snow” from the title “The Unexpected Snow”; the compound words related to the title are snowflakes, snowdrifts, snowstorms, etc.)
The Compound Word Verse has a set rhyme scheme and meter as follows:
Rhyme Scheme: a,a,b Meter: 8, 8, R


The Joy of Thanksgiving Dinner
by:Lisa Noe

Thanksgiving will be here so soon
Be sure you make plenty of room
Giving thanks

Loving the scents of the season
Never asking for a reason
Thankfulness

Family and friends will gather
Knowing each of us does matter
Joyfulness

Turkey, dressing and the fixings
We have all been filled with blessings
Dinner prayers

Knowing God does look down on us
Make special efforts not to fuss
Joyful meal.
