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
