G. Jay Poet I do not know?

What Inspires You To Write Poetry

Version 1
A good book, nonfiction, fantasy or textbook      
A good exert, from yoga or gyms effort               
Sometimes a lack of rest, and being depressed    
A good look, a walk along trees near a brook        
A good tune, the mind and write will attune           
Sometimes out of breath, from a death                    
A good moon, in the warm month of June   
A good movie that carries me in the journey     
Sometimes when I’m sad, or even going mad.         
A good word, the dictionary day featured        
A good site, an invite for research to insight   

Version 2
A good book, nonfiction, fantasy or textbook                  12

Sometimes a lack of rest, and being depressed                11
A good tune, so my mind and the soul's write attune       12
A good look, a walk along trees near a brook                   11
Sometimes out of breath, from family or friends death      12
A good moon, at night in the warm month of June           11
A good movie that carries me in the journey                    12
Sometimes when I’m sad, or even going mad.                  11
A good word, the dictionary day featured                        11

Darlene De Beaulieu September 5, 2017 at 3:10 PM Yes G.Jay this is free verse. I do hope that you will write more poetry for all of us to read. I like this poem you wrote. have a nice day my friend.

Aqua Marine September 5, 2017 at 8:01 AM Both forms here are good, like the use of internal rhyme, and that you are experimenting with " differences" in rhythm... ( instead of using " I dont know" as your form, the most common form, where there is no specific form is " free verse..." the site has explanations for just about everything to do with poetry- Im still in that learning curve myself...looking forward to your third version.... G. Jay September 9, 2017 at 3:58 PM Hopefully a third version. I get distracted easily. Hence example my Katerina story from 2008 found in short stories selection.
