Dramatic monologue POETIC FORM According to The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

Dramatic monologue, a poem written in the form of a speech of an individual character; it compresses into a single vivid scene a narrative sense of the speaker's history and psychological insight into his character. Though the form is chiefly associated with Robert Browning, who raised it to a highly sophisticated level in such poems as "My Last Duchess;• "The Bishop Orders His Tomb at St. Praxed's Church," "Fra Lippo Lippi," and "Andrea del Sarto,” it is actually much older. Many Old English poems are dramatic monologues-for instance, "The Wanderer" and "The Seafarer:' The form is also common in folk ballads, a tradition that Robert Burns imitated with broad satiric effect in "Holy Willie's Prayer: Browning's contribution to the form is one of subtlety of characterization and complexity of the drama tic situation, which the reader gradually pieces together from the casual remarks or digressions of the speaker. The subject discussed is usually far less interesting than what is inadvertently revealed about the speaker himself. In "My Last Duchess:' in showing off a painting of his late wife, an Italian aristocrat reveals his cruelty to her. The form parallels the novelistic experiments with point of view in which the reader is left to assess the intelligence and reliability of the narrator. Later poets who successfully used the form were Ezra Pound e ("The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter"), T.S. Eliot ("Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"), and Robert Frost"' ("The Pauper W itch of Grafton"). See also soliloguy.

[Pasted from Original Source, Cited at end]

Just when I thought I’d run into one of the crazier poetic forms in the paradelle (http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/poetic-asides/personal-updates/poetic-form-palindrome-poetry-or-mirror-poem),

The rules are simple enough:

1.You must use the samewords in the first half of the poem as the second half, but

2.Reverse the order forthe second half, and

3. Use a word in the middle as a bridge from thefirst half to the second half of the poem.
