The Demonstrable Subjectivity

The Demonstrable Subjectivity is a poetic riddle concerning someone recently deceased, originating in The Staggering Table. The form guides poets during improvised performances. The poem is divided into three distinct parts: three to four quatrains, another two quatrains and a line. Use of consonance is characteristic of the form. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines sometimes have reversed word orders.

• The first part is intended to praise the subject of the poem. The fourth line of each quatrain has the same grammatical structure as the second line. It has lines with five feet with a tone pattern of even-uneven.
• The second part is intended to develop the previous idea. The third line of each quatrain has the same grammatical structure as the second line. It has lines with four feet with a tone pattern of even-even-uneven.
• The third part is intended to move away from previous ideas. It has three feet with a tone pattern of uneven-even-uneven.
