Syllabics

One way to shape a line of poetry is by counting syllables, those tiny units of sound that flavour a poem. This method, known as syllabics, is less often practised then metre or free verse but, linked to stanza and line length patterns, syllabics gives a muscular structure to a poem. You will explore the effects of using syllabic patterns, read contemporary and canonical examples (including those by Marianne Moore and Dylan Thomas) and create a new syllabic poem.
