What kind of poetry form am I?

I guess this kind, which is nice as I like sonnets.

But I really do like people--for the most part.



I am the sonnet, never quickly thrilled;
Not prone to overstated gushing praise
Nor yet to seething rants and anger, filled
With overstretched opinions to rephrase;
But on the other hand, not fond of fools,
And thus, not fond of people, on the whole;
And holding to the sound and useful rules,
Not those that seek unjustified control.
I'm balanced, measured, sensible (at least,
I think I am, and usually I'm right);
And when more ostentatious types have ceased,
I'm still around, and doing, still, alright.
In short, I'm calm and rational and stable -
Or, well, I am, as much as I am able.
What Poetry Form Are You?

Short, terse, unfriendly,
Yet sometimes quite emotive;
I am the Haiku.




That's what the test said! :-P

LOL well I don't know you as short, terse, or unfriendly. So.... :)

I am rather tall, but I like my words to be concise whenever possible.

I am very unfriendly when I am on the metro, but otherwise I am generally outgoing when I'm out in public, although not bubbly by any means. I'm an introvert, though, so I gather and horde alone time. And I despise stupid people. Which generally = anyone walking slowly in front of me, particularly if they cut me off. ;-) Hmm, maybe I am unfriendly....

Well, I don't blame you for any of those things! LOL. I am pretty much the same. And having been on metros, tube, etc., everyone is going somewhere, and just want to get there.

I have alot of alone time. My commute every day is by car, so I can't get too distracted, but if I am not on phone with Nick then my mind is way far away. Thankfully lately the far-away has been focused on writing to come. :)

I liked the sonnet. They are nice in general but hard to get right.

I am a tanka (new word) with second choice sonnet. The description was kinda accurate. These tests can be fun.

Tanka. That is a new one on me too. Hmm!

I'm the sonnet, too.

Oh Cats, you are? That is somehow rather cool. LOL.

What Poetry Form Are You? (http://quiz.ravenblack.net/poeticform.pl)


But then it says this: If you were not Terza Rima you would be a Sonnet. LOL! So, according to my first result I like people, and according to the second one I don't? Odd! :D

Oh you are completely awesome, Leafy!!! :) This makes me smile!

[identity profile] klgrem.livejournal.com 2009-11-10 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha. I got Terza Rima and Blank Verse. :)
Since Terza Rima has already been posted, I'll post Blank verse here:

I rather like Blank Verse, haha. :)

[identity profile] paragraphs.livejournal.com 2009-11-11 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
LOL I do also. :)

Nothing related but it's all your fault. I've watched all 4 seasons of Doctor Who in a week. I need an icon!

[identity profile] paragraphs.livejournal.com 2009-11-11 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
LOL!!!! A friend made my default icon for me. :)
