Md. Ziaul Haque Invented New Poetic & Literary Forms:

1. "Poetenry" [Poems of Ten Lines].

2. "Kurine" [Poems of Twenty Lines].

3. "Haqueian Verse"- A new form of poetry created by me is called ‘Haqueian Verse’, which starts with a single word; it has five lines that contain ten words in total. The poem ends with a single word that rhymes with the first word.

4. "Poestory" [Poetry + Story]- A new genre of writing in literature that is created by blending two words i.e. poetry + story. In a word, it is a type of writing where a story has both the qualities of poetry and prose.

5. "Fiverse" [Five + Verse: Poems of Five Lines]- A new poetic form created or invented by me. In Bangla, it is called পাঁচপদী কবিতা. There are 5 lines and total 15 words in it. 1st line has 1 word; 2nd line has 2 words; 3rd line has 3 words; 4th line has 4 words and 5th line has 5 words. 1st line rhymes with the 2nd line; 3rd line is unrhymed; 4th and 5th lines rhyme with each other. The rhyme scheme is: AABCC. There are no punctuation marks at the end of the lines.

6. "Tennet" [Poems of Ten Lines]- The word 'tennet' is a mixture of 'ten' and 'net'. The word 'net' is taken from 'sonnet'. The rhyme scheme is usually abab–cdcd–ee, which is nearly similar to the rhyme scheme of the English sonnet- abab–cdcd–efef–gg; sometimes, the rhyme scheme may also be abba–abba–cc that is almost similar to an Italian or Petrarchan sonnet!
