Poetry Soup

Poetry soup stirs the muse with many forms to choose
 Open your stanza and immerse yourself in verse
 Enjoy an enclosed rhyme with words sublime
 Then intersperse metaphors as the poem you traverse
 Refrains are fine as you alternate the lines
 Yesterday's woes can inspire a prose

 Sonnets by Shakespeare can give your muse flair
 Or write of morning dew with a haiku
 Use your quill and let a Triolet spill
 Post your poem if you will
