| Title: Dorsimbra
I found this form at the pages of Sol Magazine. They write:
A poetry form created by Eve Braden, Frieda Dorris and Robert Simonton, is a set form of three stanzas of four lines each.
Stanza One: Four lines of Shakespearean sonnet (iambic pentameter rhymed abab). Stanza Two: Four lines of free verse. Stanza Three: Four lines of iambic pentameter blank verse, where the last line repeats the first line of Stanza One.”
Four lines of Shakespearean Sonnet Four lines of Free verse Four lines of Blank verse. The last line repeats the first line of the first stanza.
They add:
“Since the Dorsimbra requires three different sorts of form writing, enjambment can help to achieve fluidity between stanzas, while internal rhymes and near-rhymes can help tie the stanzas together”
