Poetic Feat - Delete Delete

There are so many forms poetic at which I am sadly pathetic The Etheree don’t set me free The Villanelle, this poet’s hell The Cinquain is a royal pain I find the Acrostic absurdly caustic Blank verse a dull non rhyming curse Haiku like hammering a screw Italian Sonnets, Shakespeare in a bonnet The Ode, what a load A Senryu, let’s laugh at you A Triolet, I lost that bet And yet the gauntlet that they throw Is one that I cannot forego And where the words all come to meet My keyboard stroke….delete, delete.

Function (keys) over form every day, I say. Enjoyed this one, John. Thanks, Gershon

The daunting task of poetry form becomes alive in your clever rhyme. I enjoyed reading it especially because I find some of the forms quite a challenge. :) Paulette

Hello John ... I think along the line of your thoughts. A verse either rhymes or it doesn't. I read them all, but mostly have no idea of the genre - thank you John - Lindsay
