The Annikey has a lot of similarities to the Sestina but each stanza is made up of five lines using the same five words as the end word of the lines in this order, with a not less than 7 syllable meter and lines to be approximately of the same meter throughout.
A B C D E
B D A C E
D C B A E
C A D B E
E A C D B
as in this example
These are the sheets we lie upon, (A)
colourful and smooth, blue prints (B)
of forgetmetnot buds are drafted (C)
across where we loved before, (D)
new to your love as in rebirth. (E)
Nibbles at skin bring blue prints (B)
of ecstasy, begging for me before (D)
the need became too much upon (A)
your senses, nipples from drafted (C)
sighs erect, I seek inside rebirth.(E)
I haven't reached this place before (D)
nor has my mind and body drafted (C)
such brilliant yet crazy blueprints, (B)
bring into my life a yearning upon (A)
which I must now call rebirth. (E)
The sweetest breath has drafted (C)
across my cock, your lips upon (A)
the head teasing, touching before (D)
licking softly down to blue prints (B)
of veins engulfing, I moan rebirth. (E)
And now my love we share rebirth (E)
I move hard, erect and ready upon(A)
your slender body, already drafted(C)
for my desire, soft and open before(D)
we blend creating new blueprints. (B)
Your challenge is to write an Annikey on the subject of guns. Your take on the subject i.e for/against/usage/history etc I leave that up to you.
For anyone that's gone through the hell of writing a Sestina before this should be a doddle.
For anyone trying for the first time my tip is choose your five words and write them onto my example in the correct order and then write your poem around them.
Poems will be judged not only on subject matter but also on form.
It took me approx 1 hour to write this new form ..... it's not difficult!!
Post your poems onto this thread deadline is Friday 19th March 8pm GMT after that this thread is thrown wide open to comments/critiques etc
Any comments/questions before that please go to The Weekly Challenge thread
