Poetry Soup

A poem can be a lot of things With many different styles Some are just a verse or two While others go on for miles First of all, we have the Rhyme The one that I know best I'm still pretty new to this So, I'm still learning the rest Then, we have the Free Verse I'm not sure I understand I know I love to read it tho And it's always in demand Then, we have the Couplet Two lines successively rhyme Now, this one I can do I used to do it all the time And now, we have Haiku Adopted from the Japanese This one would give me trouble While others can write it with ease Of course, there's the Quatrain It's two rhyming couplets, you see And the example I've seen given Was written aa and bb And then, we have the Limerick It's designed to make us smile I haven't written too many But I will, after a while These are just a few of the styles That make up our little group And that's what makes it special Here at Poetry Soup
