In one of the most recent reviews for my book It's a Teacher's Life...! on Amazon, the reviewer wrote:

'It seems, in the creation of "It's a Teacher's Life," Helena Harper has developed a new form - what can only be called the anecdotal poem...'

and the reviewer then goes on to talk about 'vignettes in verse' (if you're interested in reading the whole review, I've posted it under "News"). 

I, myself, have always described my book as a collection of anecdotes and character sketches that just happen to be in verse form and so I like the term 'anecdotal poem' very much, but I would be most interested to know if anyone else thinks I have actually developed a new form of poetry?
