Two Lentos

MY FIRST LENTO Well here's my first attempt at a Lento Tell me how am I doing so far Swell that you thought of including me Hell I could be your next Lento star Send me a challenge and I'll get right to it Tend to get excited when I write Lend me your ears and I'll do my best End up with my ego taking flight © Jack Ellison 2013 LENTO NUMBER TWO Here is number two, so how did I do Clear I've mastered this clever form Fear that others will give up in frustration Mere handfuls will weather the storm Stay with it, you'll find it so rewarding Lay there Lento-ing through the night Pray you don't wind up in the looney bin Stay with it, and you'll soon get it right © Jack Ellison 2013 Lencio Rodrigues has created this new form of poetry called a LENTO! It consists of two 4 line verses where the first word of each line rhymes and the end of the second and fourth lines rhyme. He is in the process of collecting Lento poems from around the world and publishing them in a book. Much success Lencio!
