NaPoWriMo Day Fifteen: Poetry

So, why poetry?
If you aren't a Poet
If you're prosaic?

Why always default
To short forms
And little verses?

It's my
Attention span
I have none to speak of
I prefer things to be easy
Mostly

Poetry meets that
Need in me to write
now, right now.

The short form keeps me
Mostly on
Track ...mostly focused

Sometimes
It's a release
Emotional vomit
Sometimes I just want to write big
Monsters.

Today we are to write a poem to or about poetry. I chose my three favorite forms: the Collom Lune, the Kelly Lune, and the Cinquain.

  1. I really like the combination of forms into one poem. And "write now, right now" for some reason :)

    1. Thanks! I liked the "Write now right now" bit too. It is possible that Darrell was listening to Van Halen when I was working on this...

Hi! Thank you for the visit! Grab a plate and a sweet tea and let's dig in. It may take a while, but I always try to reply and return visits.
