Get In the Box

* The POETRY RULES BOX *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* When poets jump into the poetic forms box, poetry will glow. *
* Whether writing senryu, clerihew, sonnets or haiku, skills show. *
* So, I try to follow rules of form during a poetic creativity flow. *
* And I believe that with practice, my writing skills will grow! *
* Even when composing free or blank verse, rules in my mind echo. *
* Blank verse may not have rhyme, but rhythm is definitely aglow. *
* ~ If there is no rhythm, the poem is a written schism. ~ *
* Free verse, on the other hand, is where beat and rhyme find zero. *
* Is there more in the poetry rules box? I say, “Yes,” good fellow. *
* Besides forms rules, there are conventions of grammar to follow. *
* I use spell check and grammar check to remove error’s sorrow *
