Desolation Poems in Poets Biography & Poetry Resource Directory

Poetic Forms Used In English is a project in which I intend to write at least one poem in every form used in English and, as it is working out, to delve from time to time into forms from other languages which may not, so far, have been used in English. No one can put a definite number on how many English forms there are. . The variations, variants, versions, the whole, partial or rearranged borrowings from other languages, and the possibilities within forms are too numerous to offer a stable count. About 400 perhaps. Began on July 18, 1997 after two aborted earlier efforts I have as of today, February 5, 1999, written a poem in each of 326 different forms.
