Pat Tovo says she’s having fun creating a new form of poetry. She calls it Oge.e.ku. (but don’t ask me how to pronounce it).

It combines elements of Ogden Nash, e.e. cummings and haiku (but don’t ask me why - I think it’s just for fun).

Check out how the St. Louis-area writer structures the poetry at her blog http://prattlefromtheflatlands.blogspot.com

Here is one of her poems, which combines the brevity of haiku, silly rhyme like Nash and some odd syntax, like cummings.

Contorted, twisted, eagle spread

bewitching, twitching, lump of lead

my dog, while small in stature be,

takes up more space in bed than me

Anyone like to try to write an Oge.e.ku?
