The Fruity Geology

The Fruity Geology is a poetic narrative intended to beseech, originating in The Manageable Silt-Loam. 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: five to six tercets, numerous series of quatrains and a series of sexains. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines sometimes have reversed word orders.

• The second part concerns current events. The fourth line of each quatrain must expand the idea of the first line. It has lines with five feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short (quantitative trochaic pentameter). The rhyme scheme respecting the full poem is BBBB.
• The third part concerns the future. The fourth line of each sexain must expand the idea of the second line. It has lines with eight feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short (quantitative trochaic octameter). The rhyme scheme respecting the full poem is AACAAA.
