A new style that invites interpretation from the reader.
Here is the rule of the Duette
(Duette)-- a primarily self-created type usually written:
in free or blank verse, mildly cryptic or obscure in content that concludes with an open question or statement.
*Form contains 5-7 lines with numbers of words or syllables in this line sequence:
first - 9 syllables words:
second - 8
third- 7-8
fourth-6-7
fifth- 3-4
(if 6-7 lines)
sixth- 2-3
seventh- 1-2
This type is nearly like a collaboration because it requires the reader's interpretation.
*When writing, the required 'word' count is Form A.
the required 'syllable' count is Form B.
