Here's an idea for another poetic activity - each month or so, I'll start a thread on a specific poetic metre, which will set out the structure and rules of that metre.
Then, we can turn our pens and minds to the creation of a poem in that metre.
I think this would be a good way of getting to grips with the various forms, something that will be useful both for our own poetic endeavours and for the understanding of the historical bardic works.
I'll start us off with the first metre today.
