Happy National Poetry Month

Senryu, haiku, monoku, and haibun, quotes, free verse, iambic pentameter. Poems about love, death and religion, for you from the pen of this amateur. Limerick and footle to make you smile, kimo, etheree, nonet for their form. Sonnets and couplets give us love stories, quatrains and tercets to keep our hearts warm. So many ways to say that I Love You, or you can kiss my rear you dumb buffoon. Starlight from Heaven can never compare, to the light from your eyes, you stupid goon. See you don’t have to have a diploma, or be experts in writing poetry. Just put your thoughts down onto some paper, then you too can be a poet like me.

Happy National Poetry Month to you, Jerry. I didn't know this was the month. I enjoyed your poem about all the types of poetry you write. It was a fun read, and sounded just like I imagine you are. Have a great month, my friend. Bill

I have duly circled my favorite line, Brother Jerry. I'm sure you know what it is, but just in case... third stanza, second line -- of course! Chuckling away, Gershon
