In honor of Roddy Lumsden, let’s experiment with the poem form he created: the sevenling. The form consists of seven lines (duh) with two stanzas of three lines and one line at the bottom. For a really great explanation of the form and an absolutely beautiful sample poem by Anna Akhmatova, check out the sevenling writing challenge found on the YeahWrite blog.
So for the prompt, write a sevenling. For an added constraint, use a flower, a weapon and chemical compound or element in your lists.
Other examples of the sevenling are published on D’verse Poets Pub. Here is an interview with Roddy Lumsden you might find interesting.
