In Honor Of - Poetry Forms Created to Honor Poets
As you may recall, I recently acquired the book “The Study and Writing of Poetry,” which features newer poetry and poetry forms created and written by women. However, there are some that are created and written by men as well. There is one author in particular, California poet James R. Gray, who created poems to honor poets. Today I’d like to share them with you.

The first form featured was created to honor Anna Nash Yarbrough (Study and Writing of Poetry, 118).

--Meter: iambic. Syllable count as follows: 4, 6, 8, 10, 8, 6, 4. Total of 46 syllables.
