What Poetry Folks Read
What kind of poetry are folks reading?
Sonnets and triolets of beautiful scenes,
Or tirades about the latest political row
Random words from poet minds feeding.
Unrhymed blank verse, or is it free verse
Old-fashioned limericks for a chuckle
Time for an epic story … or a tarzanelle,
Nonsensical poems for better or worse.
Everyone reads a favorite now and then
Be it a jingle or a lengthy narrative
After all, we grew up on nursery rhymes
We learned but cannot remember when.
