The Cranberry of Conjectures

The Cranberry of Conjectures is a light poetic form intended to satirize someone's character, originating in The Episodic Miscreant. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single quatrain. Use of alliteration, symbolism, simile and vivid imagery is characteristic of the form. Each line has three feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short (quantitative trochaic trimeter). The third line of the quatrain is required to maintain the phrasing of the first line. The second line of the quatrain reverses the word order of the first line.
