Top Ten Poetry Forms

I love to write romantic rhymes
Lavishing lovely lyrics on each lines
Singing sweet songs to send out smiles
I woo words and employ a sincere style

I am addicted to alluring alliteration
Playing with passion and perfection
I give imageries an important instruction
They place witty words in pleasant position

I am very versed in writing vibrant verses
I woo wide words in all stanzas and sentences
Cruising with creativity with colorful clauses
This makes each line loaded and rich like roses

I tell true tales through terrific… terzanelle
It is just a tangle of Terza rima and villanelle
Each line is built on beauty just like a belle
With terrific tercets, rhyming like a… Roselle

I flow favorably with fantastic… free verse
I colors with care to make rhyme so tiny and terse
I feel free to flow with words and carefully converse…
I dig deep into my dictionary to get words to disperse

I appreciate my poetry pals with attractive acrostic
Using the first letters of words… funny but fantastic
I explore excellent expressions to make it ecstatic
Just to give my pals a golden glow… so gigantic

I love to croon constantly using… colorful couplet
Using real rhymes to end all lines… as a bold bracelet
I don’t spend all the witty words in my word-wallet
Yet I paint it with creative colors... veiled with violet

I am always happy whenever I handle haiku
Seventeen syllables split like a simple Sudoku
It’s beautiful like a Hawaiian garland: Haku
It can be in a single straight line…Monoku

I love writing poems as simple as ABC
Following the alphabets… as you can see
Creativity counts… as I display constancy
Well, all I need do is to maintain word-normalcy
