Isn'T It Poetic

Its meter and rhyme, delicate and sublime,
 fantasy surreal, personal appeal;
a couplet, quatrain or quintain, try them all in time
 but gather close to your heart
 the best way your words depart;
what could be bio, ballad, sonnet best
 as we each submit ourselves to every test
 the most familiar and loved burlesque display
 it's blank, it's haiku monoku, carpe diem in retrograde;
but it is fulfilling my personal thirst 
 in dramatic monologue blitz free verse.
