Contest 235: 14 Lines
Fourteen lines limit a poet. But
One line can say it all.
Two lines may seem like too few. While
Thirteen lines is playing it rather safe; wouldn't you think...
Twelve lines are commonplace, not to mention a fair share.
Four lines typically conform and tend to rhyme, here and there.
Five lines don't occur very often. But
Eleven lines; now that's unique.
Ten lines of long length, often comprise a short poetry prose.
Six lines may simply form two stanzas of three. Only
Seven lines end the poem by adding a one-liner conclusion.
Three lines without a place enjoy mixing things up a bit. Prompting
Eight lines to worry about it; it being not a thing at all. Getting a good laugh out of watching
Nine lines cling onto every word, knowing the end is near; but the poet continues to write to the limits of fourteen lines.
