Write a Short Poem in a Specific Form

Free verse lets you dodge the hard decisions; a fixed form makes you face them. This writes a complete poem in the form you ask for, then names two specific word or line choices it made and why. For writers who want to feel how constraints sharpen language rather than read another essay claiming they do.
