Poetry.... So many ways of saying What comes from the heart The one I like is called Quatrain That surely does impart The Couplet form of writing Surely proves to be exciting This character of poetry Can be a blessing to you and me Then there's another It surely has it's own league It's called the Haiku Cinquain Five lines Tells a story Of love or Hate Cinquain The Clerihew was rather a hoot A jolly fun and really quite cute! An amusing task But really, don't ask! But then there is the Limerick This one has been a crazy trick Not one I'll soon forget But one I don't regret This surely has been quite a kick! Don't forget Tanka It is so interesting How this comes about So different in it's own way Rhyming we don't have to do The many forms of poetry They all can be sublime Whether happy or sad or even frivolous They don't ALL have to rhyme I have too much time on my hands I guess!!! hee hee!
