The GOetry form for the week of March 31, 2025, is from New Zealand.
Form: Monotetra
Theme: AdventureWhat is a Monotetra?
A Monotetra is a poetic form consisting of four-line stanzas (quatrains) written in tetrameter—meaning each line has eight syllables. The key feature of a Monotetra is that all four lines of a stanza share the same end rhyme, and the final line is a repeated phrase or variation of itself. This gives the poem a rhythmic, almost musical quality.How to Write a Monotetra:
Each stanza has four lines (quatrains).
Every line has eight syllables.
The rhyme scheme is AAAA (all lines in a stanza rhyme).
The final line of each stanza repeats the last phrase, creating a punchy and lyrical effect.Series

Ineffable Sonnets by WiblyWobly_TimeyWimey

Summary
After the apocalypses that didn't happen, and love that has been confessed and confirmed, eternity has settled into a quiet life in a South Downs cottage, where a demon and an angel occasionally write sonnets for each other. Sometimes they are sweet, and sometimes they are saucy, but they are always filled with love.
What started as a one-shot birthday gift is quickly turning into a series of Shakespearean Sonnets rewritten by our Ineffable duo. This will be mostly stand-alone, short chapters each with a sonnet and glimpse into the every day life in the South Downs Cottage.

Sometimes, even when he doesn't realize it, Crowley has a Bad Day. Sometimes the weight of all he's been through sits heavy on his wings and in his heart. And on those days, Aziraphale is there with a hug and a poem.Excerpt:
“Grow. Bettah!”
Aziraphale looked up from the croissant dough he was meticulously folding on the cool, kitchen countertop. Outside the window he spotted Crowley stalking through their herb garden, scowling at errant rosemary and spotted thyme. He brandished his gardening shears at the transgressive plants, pruning the offending leaves and pulling up stray offshoots.Series
