How many poetic forms can one use?

There are hundreds out there to be tried 

More than twenty- five, I choose

As writing makes me feel alive.

–

Quatrains are common for many to use 

Just like this one I’m writing right now

The words come together just like a cruise

Completing the work, a solemn vow.

–

When do you choose to try a new form?

When the words will not come out 

As you weather a writers block storm 

Then inspiration will scream and shout.

–

Words now come quickly, too fast type

As many new ideas fills your mind

Such a rush of creativity, ideas are ripe

No longer in your artistic bind.

–

So never worry when the words won’t come 

When you can try new exciting poetic forms 

Fresh inspiration, where once, mere crumbs

Challenging, refreshing, is your new norm…
