Terrible Poetry

A reflective poetic form intended to satirize the hunt, originating in The Circular Cloisters. The poem is eleven quatrains. Use of simile is characteristic of the form. Forms of parallelism are common throughout the poem, in that certain lines have similar grammatical structures and they sometimes have reversed word orders. Each line has ten syllables. The ending of every line of the poem rhymes with every other. The second line of each quatrain presents a different view of the subject of the first line. The second line of each quatrain must expand the idea of the first line.

Like a weeping upwind, we charge the prey.
Prey the charge, we wind up weeping alike.
Our tears make poor weapons, we see today.
Our pain makes poor arrow, sword, bow or pike.
