The Bop is a form [3] of poetic argument consisting of three stanzas, each followed by a repeated line or refrain. The first stanza is six lines and presents a problem; the second stanza is eight lines and further expands upon the problem; and the third stanza is six lines and either resolves or documents the failure of resolving the problem. Read a Bop poem [4] by Afaa Michael Weaver, who created the form during a Cave Canem writing retreat, and then try writing your own.
