This is a wonderful
form that allows us to use feminine words for end line rhymes.
9 syllables per line
with the following meter:
iamb-iamb-iamb-amphibrach
Example Poem:
Write a Marshalline
Sonnet
To write a
Marshalline type sonnet
beware that physical
internal
daDUM (five times)
repeated on it
won't fit into the
Marshal's kernel.
The kosher form
induces clatter
by truncating the
pentameter
by half a foot so
lines end flatter,
but longer still
than tetrameter.
Just nine syllables
emphasizing
the lines all ending
somewhat tepid
with feminine rhyme,
realizing
that women often are
intrepid.
This rhyme, and
syllables persisting
Is stuff of what
this form's consisting.
