Fixed Verse Forms: Fixed Verse Forms are those that specify rather precisely such poetic elements as word choice - rhyme scheme - meter - or number of syllables per line. Some - such as the villanelle and pantoum - specify repetition of specific lines; others - such as the sestina - specify repetition of specific words. Fixed forms now listed under this section include terza rima - the cinquain - the pantoum - the rondeau - the rondel - the rondelet - the sestina - the sonnet - and the villanelle. The clerihew - limerick - and haiku are cross-listed here as well. Poetry Forms Fixed Verse Forms:
