A tanka here and a haiku there

Clogyrnachs and quadrilles everywhere.

–

Quantrains, palindromes a plenty

A-to-Zed and a limerick if any.

–

Acrostic and diminishing are other forms

Ars Poetica and cinquain, far from norms

–

Abstract, sound, anagram, and The Blitz

Add to this poet’s toolshed kits.

–

There are other styles I rehearse

Straight up AB rhymes and Free verse.

–

Magic 9 and dizain complete my list

Of poetic forms plus adding my own twist.

–

I sometimes rhyme tankas or haikus

Just to give myself more to do….
