Mayhem Poetry Form

I do not know the different forms of poetry To be honest I have no desire to ascertain So many forms and so complicated To much confusion for my lazy brain! I just like to write my thoughts down A combination of heart and mind About life and all it encompasses Usually in a rhyme I love reading poetry Be it fiction or the real deal Humorous, heartfelt, serious, dark, All topics and opinions on how poets feel I respect poets who love a challenge Who appreciate the varied poetry forms But for me just reading the names of them Leaves my brain all tattered and torn! Qawwali, Jueju ,Concrete Munajat, Vogon,Tyburn, Grook Only a handful of many Like words out of a science fiction book!! My personal preference is to keep it simple Avoiding forms like Diamanté or Suzette Prime Continuing to pen my poems In just good old fashioned Rhyme !

And we love them just the way you write them, Deb. I've tried a dozen or so different forms, but Sonnets, Rhymes, and Free Verse are my favorites. Thanks for the fun and honest poem about the delima of choosing what form to write in.

I have used different forms though I prefer free verse. But I must write a pantoum one of these days when the muse returns.

I agree with everything you penned; it was so well-constructed, concise, and articulate, almost Shakespearian in its presentation. I must hasten now as my quill hath runneth dry, so, Deborah prithee looketh after thee. I bid you a fond farewell. SeeYa, Very Very, Old Duck XX

A cute write, Deb! I like trying new forms if they are simple enough. Sometimes when I can't think of anything to write, trying a new form sparks my muse. Generally, I prefer writing rhyme. Blessings, Kim M

What an uplifting and honest read, Deb. I , too, find some of the forms burdensome. They interfere with my natural rhythm and intuition when I write. I'm with you, keep it simple, Sara

Hello Deb M. Yes keep it simple. i agree. Some of the poetry forms i find too hard to do. I do the ones I understand in the new forms. The rsest are too hard for me. I write what ever comes to mind. My ghost writer gives me the theme in a title. I then create the poem./Darlenex/
