Formal Verse

[close] This group is for people who appreciate formal verse, traditional poetry, rhythm and rhyme, alliteration and wordplay - from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Stallings and Gorman, embracing the rigidly formal, the casual, and folk songs, nonsense songs, rock and rap and rollicking spoken word. This group is for people who value the tricks of engagement that make it easy to learn a poem word for word.
