Old Macdonald Had a Form

Each of the poetry forms, In its own unique way, Examining an idea, informs Its opportunities for a nuanced expression or play; Others, from the imposition of their norms, variations, say. ---------- EIEIO Quintain All of which is a fun way to say that the form that you select to describe something matters: a haiku and a sonnet are going to describe the same thing in different ways. Duh! Old MacDonald had a form E-I-E-I-O

Fun and quite creative, Jeff. Hmmm...it's also an Acrostic. So, you've created an Acrostic/Quintain (English). Good job! As you know, I love uniting two (or even three) forms into a new format.
