Pat Adams Poet Rhyme

So Many Types of Poetry

Since I've been on Poetrysoup
I admit I was taken back
By how many types of poetry
My education seems to lack

Could I make my rhyme a sixette
Or would I be 3 short
If I charged for a freeverse
Would I be forced to abort

How much must I remove
to make my hexaverse diminished
and then do I need more words
before I can be finished

Can I let my Rondeau Redouble
Without too much trouble at first
And must I be affiliated
To attempt a political verse

I guess I'll learn them one at a time
Until then I'll just call them a rhyme

Elissa Quigley May 4, 2017 at 6:34 PM I love this poem! Not only was it well writen, but it also connects with the readers. Very well writen and very true. Good write! Pat Adams May 4, 2017 at 7:50 PM Thank you Elissa. It's a slow go but I'm learning I think. By the way I really liked your acrostic "Criminal Minds" Loved the poem, love the show, finally Spencer got out of jail! :)

Barry Stebbings May 4, 2017 at 4:52 PM Well done, Roger. My range of forms has increased since I joined PS. // Barry Pat Adams May 4, 2017 at 7:30 PM Thanks Barry I appreciate the feedback. I love the puzzle of creating poetry!

Jan Allison May 4, 2017 at 4:40 PM Your poem made me smile Roger as I knew nothing about poetry until I joined soup in fact I never liked poetry until I started writing in Nov 2013 and now I too have learned so so so much:-) hugs Jan xx Pat Adams May 4, 2017 at 7:21 PM Thank you so much. I've read several of your poems and It's hard to imagine a world of poetry without you in it. Hugs back :)
