A Visit In Style
Hello there my dearest old friend, it’s been a long, long time
I wish of you to sit a spell, indulge me with your rhymes
I have a few to read to you. I’d like to know your thoughts.
I have so many styles now. It’s great, what I’ve been taught!
The Cameo is popular; I really love it so.
The Septet, too, is oh so grand, I wanted you to know.
The Haiku, though so short, is a descriptive piece to read.
It provides all the clarity and imagery you’ll need.
A Tanka is much like that but has two more lines instead.
It really sounds just as descriptive, if out loud it’s read.
One that really is a fave, is the Diatelle; it’s great!
With many lines and syllables it’s surely to elate.
So many styles to say the least, I cannot say them all.
We must revisit them one day, so please pay me a call.
