SCOT

The SCOT was created by Thomas McDaniel of Olive Branch, MS, a longterm member and past president of the Poetry Society of Tennessee.  He defines it as a variable, titled short form containing 15-18 poetic feet.  The rhythm is optional; no rhyme is required.

Line 1 should contain 4 poetic feet; line two, 5 feet; line three, 2-5 feet; and line four, 4 feet.

Here's an example by the creator:

Past Encounter

Grave streams of peat course down to feed
the loch where thrives the living Capricorn.
To save a swimmer, St. Columba banned
bane beast and cast it yawn below.

Here's another example by the Blogger:

OUTCOME

 A wooden horse five stories high
arrived, a gift from teeth-ge-nashing Greeks.
Imagine our surprise:
armed soldiers started pouring out.
