A demi-sonnet is a poetic form.
Background[]
The form was invented in 2009 by American poet Erin Murphy whose 4th book of poetry, Word Problems (2011), is a collection of demi-sonnets.
Form[]
A demi-sonnet has 7 lines. The name comes from the fact that the form is half the length of a traditional 14-line sonnet. There is no set meter or rhyme.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Wikipedia says that "Each poem ends with an internal full or slant rhyme," but that does not appear to be the case in all of Erin Murphy's demi-sonnets.
