INDEX NOTE

          It bothers me that no comments are posted on this blog, which makes me think nobody looks at it.  Lots of work goes into this project, the goal of which is to give PST members and others a quick reference.
          It's alphabetical.  Terminology explanations are under T.  I'll add any term you suggest.  I'm happy to learn new terms myself.  We're all learners here.
        To use this blog, click on the item of interest in the index to go to the definition and example of the particular form you want to learn about.  If you click on the last item in the index on page 1  (butterfly cinquain), you'll be able to see page 2 of the index.  Repeat the process for subsequent pages.       
          I value your comments.

ALEXANDRINE

A line (verse) of poetry containing six iambic feet. See Spenserian stanza.   In English verse, examples of the Alexandrine line (and I do find the term always capitalized) are found in lines from Robert Browning's poem "Fifine at the Fair" --

          If hunger, proverbs say, allures the wolf from wood,
         Much more the bird must dare a dash at something good.

(Both contain six feet.)
