Yepp.. I am back with a new form of poetry yet again…
A Ottava Rima is a poem written in 8-line octives. Each line is of a 10 or 11 syllable count in
the following rhyme:
one octive poem. abababcc
And here’s my poem on the Ottava Rima form…
~::~ Ballet Dancer ~::~
She danced all night, wooing her audience
Sashaying her skirt, swaying to the tunes
Dim lights created the right ambience
Enthralls everyone, making their hearts swoon
Not one but all, entranced by her performance
Beads of sweat on her brows, she shines like the moon
She’s one of her kind, their ballet danseuse
Revered by all yet untouched, no one’s muse
~::~::~::~
The painting is done by my friend Shruti Harohalli 😀 who is slowly flowering into a wonderful artist.. You can see more of her art at – http://shrutiharohalli.wordpress.com/ Please do visit her.. she has some wonderful art on display. You can also buy or place orders for her 🙂
I hope you liked the poem and the painting J

Very interesting poem and form! I love playing around with diffrent scans. I seldom look for others, but try to create something that feels new or different to me. I like that there are names for the forms, though! Where did you find the efinitions of those forms, or are they your own?
