The Portico - a new poetic form

The Portico Convention is a new poetic form. Its architect and maker is writer G.F. Zaimis. The design was premised upon formal archetypes built with Vitruvian architectural principles and Golden Ratio ideology. It's reminiscent of a colonnaded, classical portico from which it appropriates its name.

It's written in meter and its rhythm, sound - silence - sound, progresses from the first column of text to the next and can also be read vertically beginning with the first column downward. The new form uses architecture as a connective matrix to unite the literary arts in iambic verse. See the example below, dedicated to T.S. Eliot entitled, The Portico.
