Time never stands still. One era moves into the next. Queen Victoria became our monarch when I was just a small child but now she has passed away and we have a new century and a new king—her son, Edward VII.
So I thought this might be a good opportunity for another excursion to YouTube. There we will be seeing two films:
one that shows part of the coronation procession;
and another that is a 'staged simulation' of the ceremony itself.
Before we leave though, I will also give you a quotation which may assist you in your later composing. It comes from 'The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone', which is possibly by Dr. Watson but he is refusing to confirm it (and who can blame him…):
Holmes looked at him thoughtfully like a master chess-player who meditates his crowning move.
And here are the usual suggestions for poetry forms:
221B verselet, abecedarian poetry, acrostic poetry, alexandrine, ballad, barzelletta, beeswing, blackout poetry, blitz poem, blues stanza, bref double, Burns stanza, call and response, chastushka, cherita, cinquain, circular poetry, clerihew, clogyrnach, colour poems, compound word verse, concrete poetry, Cornish verse, curtal sonnet, débat, décima, descort, diamante, doggerel, double dactyl, echo verse, ekphrasis, elegiac couplet, elegiac stanza, elfje, englyn, enuig, epigram, epistle, epitaph, epulaeryu, Etheree, fable, Fib, florette, found poetry, free verse, ghazal, haiku, hay(na)ku, In Memoriam stanza, Italian sonnet, jueju, kennings poem, lanturne, lies, limerick, line messaging, list poem, lyric poetry, mathnawī, micropoetry, mini-monoverse, musette, nonsense verse, palindrome poetry, pantoum, Parallelismus Membrorum, poem cycle, puente, quatern, quintilla, renga, rhyming alliterisen, riddle, rimas dissolutas, rime couée, rispetto, Schüttelreim, sedoka, septet, sestina, shadorma, sonnet, stream of consciousness, tanka, tercet, terza rima, tongue twister poetry, triangular triplet, tricube, trine, triolet, Tyburn, villanelle, xenolith
And so on to YouTube. As always, all poems can be left as comments on my page!
