I wish I could concentrate my
Poetic writing to just one form,
But that just wouldn't be me.
I need to dip my toes into
Every body of water,
Every lake, stream or sea.
Haiku is beautiful and abstract,
Sensationally succinct with
Artful possibilities galore.
It conquers earthly seasons,
Delights our vivid views and
Trains the mind how less is more.
If you haven't tried a Sonnet,
You don't know the romance or
Splendor you have missed.
Of Italian origin Sonnets sing...
Pulling on our fervent heartstrings,
They conjure love in every tryst.
Whether I choose rhyme or free verse
Or Acrostic's strict letter form, or
Write in Etheree's nondescript shades,
I feel there is freedom in my choosing,
To express my very best, to leave my
Legacy before... my little light fades.
