Sonnet or Ode, Peach ala Mode

  


  

      like in an ice cream shoppe or confectionery
        a poet’s selection’s necessary
 
      couplet or rhyme, lyrical chime
        sonnet or ode, peach ala mode

      fonts galore and shapes
        like raspberry dreamscapes  

      symbolism in imagery, or 
        metaphor continuously

      begin with the ending 
        end with the beginning

      which person – 1st, 2nd , 4th, 3rd, 
        animal, human, fish or bird

      infinite assortment, endless variety
         ~ remember not to leave out levity
