Ant’s Poetic Form Toolshed

AnthonyLeave a comment

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….

Writing poetry isn’t very easy

As inspiration strikes we’re busy.

🤪

Placing words together that rhyme

Like “time”, “slime”, and “mime”

🤪

To compose a limerick that’s not cheesy.

Saturday’s All Write

Anthony3 Comments

Saturday morning 

And it’s time to hustle 

Without warning 

Must use my creative muscle.

–

Placing some prose 

From mind to phone 

Plenty of those 

Quiet, here, alone.

–

Coining a phrase 

Or three or four 

Whatever the case

I must write more.

–

My Friday views 

Are often low 

Why all readers less choose

I guess I’ll never know 

–

All the while

I’ll get it straight

Write and file 

Until I’ve done eight.

–

Micro poems 

A haiku or two 

A Clogyrnach gem

Or Dizain in view.

–

Then I can relax 

Free of sorrow

Have a few snacks 

Or write for tomorrow…
