The Bitter-Orange of Misconceiving

The Bitter-orange of Misconceiving is a solemn poetic form concerning a historical figure originally devised by the goblin Xostrazax Minorityliar. The form guides poets during improvised performances. The poem is a single tercet. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines sometimes have reversed word orders. Each line has five feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short (quantitative trochaic pentameter). Every line of the poem has a medial caesura. The second line of the tercet shares the underlying meaning of the first line. The third line of the tercet presents a different view of the subject of the second line. The first line is intended to describe the subject of the poem. The second line is intended to develop the previous idea. The third line is intended to renounce.
