A Trio of Styles

A Rhyme on a Free Verse Poet

Her poetry has brevity and also clarity.
I really like her free verse done that way.
Like miniature free verse too are her haiku.
Often so amazing are they!
From “Kisses” to “Wishes” to “One Serene Morning;”
From “New Year” to “Afternoon Fun,”
The poems of this poet from Canada flow. . .
May Line’s work here never be done!

A Limerick for a Humorist

A fun gal from the Isle of Man
writes “naughty” whenever she can.
For her limerick fame
I should like to rename
her small country the Isle of Jan!

Me

I
write in
many forms -
from classic to
newer invented
one like this: etheree.
Preferring rhythm and rhymes, 
I don’t write free verse as often.
But I’ll try my hand at anything
at least once! I’d call my style eclectic.
