Part of my Fifty Poetic Forms in Fifty Days Challenge. Today’s form is called the Paradelle. It’s a poetic form that Billy Collins originally introduced as “one of the more demanding French forms,” though eventually Collins fessed up that he created it as a joke.
Collins was not kidding about the demanding rules of the paradelle. Here they are:
- The paradelle is a 4-stanza poem.
- Each stanza consists of 6 lines.
- For the first 3 stanzas, the 1st and 2nd lines should be the same; the 3rd and 4th lines should also be the same; and the 5th and 6th lines should be composed of all the words from the 1st and 3rd lines and only the words from the 1st and 3rd lines.
- The final stanza should be composed of all the words in the 5th and 6th lines of the first three stanzas and only the words from the 5th and 6th lines of the first three stanzas.
