Double Dactyls - Fiendish little Poems for Middle-earth
Easy to read but fiendishly difficult to write. I know of what I speak - this form is very arguably the most difficult poetic form I've attempted so far. A small number of these are 'not quite pure' double-dactyls taking license with syllable count rather than properly multisyllabic singular words.
For an explanation of what a double-dactyl is, here's an intro:

And here we go - ( 15 Character Double-Dactyls, Higgledy-Piggledy )
( And three double-dactyl drinks for the Road -! )
