Ohh, don't ya know
I'm a professional poet
And I'll brag about it
Blow me own trumpet loudly
Get too big for me boots
A bit like KP really! Heehee
I'll explain things fully to ya
Those iambic wotsits -
Iambic pentameter thingies
Aren't thy something of architecture -
Iambic columns
And I know what a Haiku is -
It's a foreign sneeeze
Hai-choo, not Ah-choo!
I'll be full of alliterations and acrostics
And various formats -
8.8.8.8., 6.7.3.8. or even 56.34.82.27.
Sounds like someone playing bingo!
Fido told me all this -
Was he telling me the truth, or pulling my leg
Just to humour me, to keep me quiet?! LOL

Now that's jolly good fun. Out of style to wear sonnets any more and as for villanelle I prefer chocolate, Limerick is too sour. Loved this one Orchi
Oh lol, good write SB. Villanelle/vanilla - lol. Also it makes me think of vaudeville - dunno why.
Orchi you always make me smile
The 'Bluffers Guide to Poetic Form' - an indispensable guide required when I wake up in the middle of the night with an overwhelming need to tell the world....... something....
(Does yer remember them 'Bluffers Guides'? Slim little volumes, taught me everything I needed to know about everything...)
Erm, not sure if I remember them, but Fido does. He can read, of course!
If that's the best you can do, orchi, just shut up and put Fido on..............
Whosits, whatsits, nowsits, there...
Pent-up pentameter's growling bear
Eats all pork pies, but leaves spinach fare;
Swoon, faint—puke?—but where?! 🤢
