Two weeks ago, I posted a mini puzzle (“5-7-5x5”) where 1 Across was a certain poetic form (evident from the title) and each answer was clued with that type of poem. Here’s a second go at the same idea, with a different poetic form. I’m not sure how many more of these I will post, given that most poetic forms are pretty darn long and I don’t feel like writing a 14-line clue if 1 Across is “sonnet.” (Pretty sure you don’t feel like reading a 14-line clue either, though some of my parentheticals after clues do tend to run on a bit.)
Thanks, Sendhil. Next Wed. will indeed be a sonnet puzzle, but the clues will total 14 lines, rather than being 14 lines each. All in iambic pentameter, of course!
Oh wow, this was great, thanks! I actually kind of stayed away from it this morning not really getting the name - thought it was LAMB Gridding. Finally got to it and wow. Just wow. Awesome!
