So I to the What Poetry Form Am I? quiz and it was a tie between the Obsessive/Compulsive Triolet:



If they told you I’m mad, then they lied.
I’m odd, but it isn’t compulsive.
I’m the triolet, bursting with pride;
If they told you I’m mad, then they lied.
No, it isn’t obsessive. Now hide
All the spoons or I might get convulsive.
If they told you I’m mad then they lied.
I’m odd, but it isn’t compulsive.
What Poetry Form Are You?

And the Heroic Couplet:



I am heroic couplets; most precise
And fond of order. Planned and structured. Nice.
I know, of course, just what I want; I know,
As well, what I will do to make it so.
This doesn’t mean that I attempt to shun
Excitement, entertainment, pleasure, fun;
But they must keep their place, like all the rest;
They might be good, but ordered life is best.
What Poetry Form Are You?

So I’d say it’s a pretty accurate test.

Also, cool.

Go me!

I got the sonnet and the heroic couplet, how's that for an interesting pair?

Based on what I've seen so far, on the varius blogs that have this test link, Most gamer types have the Heroic Couplets, and the Triolet. Though Sonnets is a close third.
