indessed roscivs

In the same poetic style as found
in the haiku, sonnet, and other forms
which limit the poet in some way,
this form needs seven lines, and, besides,
each line must contain exactly seven words.
Not only that, but every word must
have fewer or equal to seven letters.

(The kwansaba was invented during the 1995 EBR Writers Club workshop in St. Louis.[1])
