I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end. What Poetry Form Are You?

(It also noted "If you were not Terza Rima you would be a Sonnet):

I am the sonnet, never quickly thrilled; Not prone to overstated gushing praise Nor yet to seething rants and anger, filled With overstretched opinions to rephrase; But on the other hand, not fond of fools, And thus, not fond of people, on the whole; And holding to the sound and useful rules, Not those that seek unjustified control. I'm balanced, measured, sensible (at least, I think I am, and usually I'm right); And when more ostentatious types have ceased, I'm still around, and doing, still, all right. In short, I'm calm and rational and stable - Or, well, I am, as much as I am able. What Poetry Form Are You?

That's exactly what I got. I'll cop to the sonnet, but the terza rima for me is ridiculous. It's a lovely quiz, though.

I assumed that one could choose only one answer per question, but when I changed my mind, marked a new one, and tried to get rid of the old one, it didn't seem to mind there being two answers, so I did that for several questions. This may have been somehow confusing to the quiz's tiny
tiny algorithm. I was going to say "Mind," but that is overdoing it.
