One More For Good Measure

While sitting at my writing desk
I penned a poem on white pages,
What came to grow inside my head?
Motley forms of meter ranges.

First, I jotted one Canzone
Followed by two strong Sonnets,
Next, I added three Rondeaus
Not to mention many Couplets.

Then I scribbled five Villanelles,
With six Sestinas I just treasure,
Along with only eight Kyrielles,
A rima royal for good measure.

Now I'm stumped! What should I do?
This poem was meant to be Haiku.

Why didn't anyone comment on this one before me? Your work has great descriptiveness and rhyming.
