Before we get into the full onslaught of the April PAD Challenge, let’s complete one more WD Poetic Form Challenge. This time, we’ll be writing the rispetto.
There are two versions of the rispetto that I’ll accept for this challenge:
1.Poem comprised of two quatrains written in iambic (unstress, stress) tetrameter (four feet–or, in this case, 8 syllables).
2.Poem comprised of 8 hendecasyllabic (11-syllable) lines–usually one stanza.
