Style

Made up of syllables, of numbered lines Of imagery and rhyme The many styles of poetry serve well To fill my time So many to appreciate Those on which, we rely Pick one out, let it flow Come on, give it a try There’s a Cento where you copy lines From many poems before There’s a Lanturne with a syllable count But, has just lines of four Try a Diatelle or Rictameter Where lines ascend and go reverse Try a Pensee or Clorgymach What ever quenches thirst There’s a Butterfly, a pretty form That has a syllable count There’s a Markette, too, that you should try So see what it’s about Get out there, expand your mind Learn now, a varied style Then you will be writing more So much, to give a smile
