Until the final words are written down
I will continue writing
Until my final days.

Ant’s Poetic Form Toolshed
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….

Ant’s Quotes
Writing Life
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
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…
