McWhirtle
A McWhirtle is a light verse form similar to a double dactyl, invented in 1989 by American poet Bruce Newling. McWhirtles share essentially the same form as double dactyls, but without the strict requirements, making them easier to write. Specifically: The looser form allows poets additional freedom to include additional rhymes and other stylistic devices. The Piano Player I read in the papersThat Harry F.
