Since I've been on Passions I learned a lot I knew some forms but the names I did not For this for instance is a rhyming verse It rhymes a a b b well it could be worse But then there is another form as well Only two rhyming lines is all you need As I'm too lazy to search matching words This will be my type of rhyming indeed Writing of nature Put in form five-seven-five A Haiku is born Five-seven-five dear Is the form of Senryu No nature in it I learned the Tanka Five-seven-five and some more This one is my first They don't rhyme they never did Tells about all kind of things Ballade is a tale in verse each line is two times seven I could tell you for instance about my little blind cat She is gray and has long hair two paws one head and a tail She roams about the garden therefore she is always wet Climbing into trees she likes knows how to get down again And when she smells a stray dog she makes herself twice as big She does not make any sounds for she has not learned to speak Purring she does quite a lot except when she has been sick Four years and still she's living the vet did not think she could But my little pet she is sneeking in my bed at night Hope to have her many years for I love her very much Blind both eyes was born that way never saw a single light A crostic am I about to do C ould this be a verse for you R est my case in poetry land O ther things I have on hand S o I learned a lot you see T his is what you gave to me I nner feelings caught in a line C aring friends I call you mine A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

You have been the perfect student here, Titia. This is a fabulous way to flex all those poetic muscles you are gathering. Bravo!!  All writing comes by the grace of God. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 07-27-2001).] |

I've learned a lot here too. It is rewarding to study the different forms of poetry and put them to use..enjoyed. " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |

Titia, thanks so much for this poem! I still have much to learn and I learned a lot just reading this! You have inspired me to learn more. I'll have to make my way to the workshop sometime soon!

I must thank you my friends, for you have given me the inspiration. SmittenKitten, I'm not a member of the workshop, just picked up those forms here and there, although sometimes I take a peek there. Very interesting things going on. And Sunshine, to live life one needs a little wit and humor. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
