Wondrous Word Wednesday is hosted by Kathy of BermudaOnionMost know that I am a poet. For that I keep exploring new forms of poetry. Today I take fairly easier forms of poetry words from various online sources.
1) Jabberwocky: Famous nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll which first appeared in Alice Through the Looking Glass. 2) Madrigal: A short love poem which can easily be set to music.3) Mimesis: The imitation of reality in art/poetry4) Quatorzain: Fourteen line irregular sonnet.
5) Senryu: A form developed by the Japanese poet Senryu Karai (1718-1790), which is almost identical to a haiku but takes as its subject matter human issues rather than nature.

What a wonderful idea! I have "heard" of a few of those words, but I'm not sure I understood their meanings. I also learned some new ones!
These are all new to me! Thanks for sharing these this week.
I'd like to see a Senryu. I love haiku so I'd like to see the difference. Thanks for the new words.
The first two I new, but after that they were all new. Great idea for words.
When I saw you were using poetry words, I knew they'd be new to me. Hopefully I learned something new from you today! Thanks for participating.
I had at least heard the first three words in all my years of English, but not the last two. Thanks for the poetry lesson!
I've always thought Jabberwocky was a really wacky poem. ha. So it is a very good title for the poem. Nice list.
I have never heard of the last two but the firs 3 I know. I love the jabberwocky. I read the Alice books earlier this year.
O frabjous day! Thank you especially for the definition of senryu. I know someone who is writing her autobiography in haiku; she will be thrilled to know that there is a way to keep some of "herself" in, too. Callou, callay!
