Bliss in Triple Rhythm--A Toolbox for Poets: Nine Ways to Shape A Word Song: Shown in 300 Original Poems

By Martin Bidney

This book of word songs in unexpected melodic patterns will surprise you by its equally unusual liveliness. I'm so eager to begin singing for you that, as you noticed, I've already written a prefatory poem in one of the varied kinds of triple rhythm units I'll be illustrating (la LA la; weak STRONG weak; one TWO three; x/x). The strangest thing I'll be doing in my collection is to bring about a resurrection of ancient stanza patterns embodying the musical structures I love. The uncustomary triple-rhythm stanza forms richly displayed will acquire a real if unlikely novelty by presenting tools so extremely old.
