The Luxuries of Focusing is a poetic riddle concerning a specific place, originating in The Pink Seduction. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single couplet. The Luxuries of Focusing is always written from the perspective of the author. Use of internal rhyme is characteristic of the form. Each line has four feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-long (quantitative cretic tetrameter). The ending of each line of the poem shares the same rhyme. The second line of the couplet is required to maintain the phrasing of the first line. The first line is intended to make an assertion. The second line is intended to invert the previous assertion.
