Poetry's Children

Kevin Hulme

Theres nothing wrong in composing Rhythm,

It's my style of Poetry every time.

All things nice and terribly neat,

Lines, Stanzas, Poetic Feet.

 

There are some folk who prefer another:

Iambic Pentameter the Grand Name.

Much lines of Stressed and Unstressed Syllables.

And Shakespeare was the Governor it seems.

 

Free Verse is the Weapon of choice to some Wranglers that like to Herd their thoughts into a reasonable Coral for their innermost Views.

It is like a Waterfall that flows upon no Stone or Rock of Ordered Structure, 

And therefore speaks like the Uninhibited Drunkered.

 

Haiku is all Truth

Shrunk on the head of a Pin

So made glorious in Wit.

          Well done, my friend.

          Kevin, this is a fun one… you move through the forms with real energy and personality. It feels like a celebration of how many ways poetry can breathe. Ooh and neat thought...all of those forms in one poem sounds like fun, probably frustrating, and worthy challenge. Are you going to? Regardless, really enjoyed this, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

            I suppose it was a Challenge as there are many other forms of Poetry to cover . But four was enough for this Lazy So and So.
            Thank you for Reading.
