Tennet: Poems of Ten Lines

Tennet: Poems of Ten Lines

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have invented the new poetic form called, 'tennet' that means 'poems of ten lines'. The word 'tennet' is a mixture of 'ten' and 'net'. The word 'net' is taken from 'sonnet'. The rhyme scheme of a tennet is usually abab–cdcd–ee, which is nearly similar to the rhyme scheme of the English sonnet- abab–cdcd–efef–gg; sometimes, the rhyme scheme may also be abba–abba–cc that is almost similar to an Italian or Petrarchan sonnet- abba–abba–cde–cde.
