The Macadamia-Nut of Teachers

The Macadamia-nut of Teachers is a reflective poetic form, originating in The Cobaltite of Redoubles. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is divided into three distinct parts: a tercet, another tercet and another tercet. Forms of parallelism are common throughout the poem, in that certain lines often share an underlying meaning and they are required to maintain phrasing. Each line has four feet with a tone pattern of even-even-uneven.

• The first part is intended to describe the past. The third line of the tercet must expand the idea of the second line. It has a terminal caesura in each line.
• The second part is intended to offer a different perspective concerning current events. The third line of the tercet must expand the idea of the second line.
• The third part is intended to develop the previous idea concerning the future. The third line of the tercet must expand the idea of the second line. It has a terminal caesura in each line.
