Answering an Effect Question About Form
Captions available
The idea
Say what the form made the poet do, then what that does to a reader. A fixed rhyme forces a word choice; a refrain forces a return; a short line forces a pause. Name the compulsion and its consequence, and avoid saying a form feels a particular way.
In practice
Name the compulsion and its result.
Where people slip
Do not say a form feels like something.
