News at Eleven: While he [Martin Bidney] often writes

in that meter, he also began to pen in what he calls "hybrids" of rhyme and non-rhyme, and various metrical forms in response to whatever it is that moves him during his day. And that could be a bird, a piece of music, something in the news or a tickle in his nose. It could be a book he's read, a conversation he's had or an interview with a journalist (and yes, he actually wrote a sonnet in response to this journalist's interview).

"I discovered I have a skill for it," he said. "I can write in all these complex meters."
