Experimental Poetry
eap (eep) is a list cinquain where
L1 is a statement followed by rhymed L2-5 that amplify the staement with words
introduced by 'in the' by the ' of the'. I labeled this poetic form an eap after
Edgar Allan Poe as it is inspired by sililoqy in this format in the conclusion
of his essay Poetic Principle.
eap-INNOCENCE
A poet recognises
innocence
in the smile of a child
in the landscape wild
by the manner mild
of the thought undefiled
eap-BEAUTY
A poet see beauty:
in the field of corn
in the mist-filled dawn
in the face care-worn
in the image still-born
