A Rhyme on a Free Verse Poet
Her poetry has brevity and also clarity.
I really like her free verse done that way.
Like miniature free verse too are her haiku.
Often so amazing are they!
From “Kisses” to “Wishes” to “One Serene Morning;”
From “New Year” to “Afternoon Fun,”
The poems of this poet from Canada flow. . .
May Line’s work here never be done!
A Limerick for a Humorist
A fun gal from the Isle of Man
writes “naughty” whenever she can.
For her limerick fame
I should like to rename
her small country the Isle of Jan!
Me
I
write in
many forms -
from classic to
newer invented
one like this: etheree.
Preferring rhythm and rhymes,
I don’t write free verse as often.
But I’ll try my hand at anything
at least once! I’d call my style eclectic.

As a kid my hair was a very easy fix,
just pull it back with a rubber band into a ponytail.
As a teen a ponytail was not going to work,
off to the hair shop with picture in hand.
I sat in the chair and said,
I want to look like this picture.
I sat dreaming about my great new hair style,
as I looked in their mirror I was horrified.
I did not look like the picture I showed them,
what had happened to my head of hair.
I will fix the professionals,
next hair cut was on me.
That is when I started to cut my hair,
I still laugh when I get asked -
can they have my hairdresser's information.
I have found some great new friends,
hats in all sizes - styles and colors.
A poetess of simple expression
in free flowing verse
discrete words resonate
with cadence of aria
on a single string of violin
the beginning paces down
to the ending
with no period
as the tune keeps on
echoing for long
her verses are the surge of the mountain stream
the course unpredictable carving the vale of impulse
cascades down
with poignant power
the torrents of leaping water unleashed on gush
race breathless over the ebullient rapids
swirl around within
mid-stream pools
where in the obscure depth of passion
the pearly beads of emotion lie sunk
shrouded in enigma
some feelings remain
unexpressed
With the broken strands of web
of languid life and torrid times
I try to weave simple tapestry
of imagery in the poetry of heart.
Rising from the dust of trampled path
I fly on the shadow of the falling sky
to the edge of the waiting horizon,
as the twilight gleam sequesters me.

Poodle... A puff on the left
A puff on the right
And always dyed white
The Nest... Teased like a stampede
That's been unleashed
The look of an endangered beast
Shaved Art... Some with faces, some with decorations
Are they going forward or behind
I hope they are supervised
Mohawk... Oh my what a shock
Some are four feet high and unbending
If you don't duck you'll be crying
Half Of Hair... One side bald the other side long
What a dingdong
It's just all wrong
So this is my opinion, sorry if I offend you!

~Autumnal Salutations~
(Haiku/ Senryu Suite)
This morning is great
The airs refreshing and cool
Autumn's almost here
Feeling of newness
There's some lightness around now
And the birds still roam
New days just starting
There's so much to do today
So many new plans
Thank God for today
Think of friends and family
For them send prayers
Wish them all the best
Everyone's in my heart thoughts
God bless them and you
Prayers go to God
I am so thankful for each day
That He's given me
Day belongs to Him
Created all that is good
My God is awesome
Greatest painter
Masterful brushworks He paints
Everyday all time
Summer soon to go
Hot days no more and pretty
Fall will settle down
Many things to plan
Some great holidays will come soon
And I'll celebrate.

~Rondelets~
(Nonet)
Rondelets are a nice style to try
Let me tell you now that this form
Is really nice to try
I've done it a few times
It wasn't bad at all
And they are fun
Just write one
You'll like
Them.
~Rondelets~
(Acrostic)
Rondelets are a nice poetry form
Only way to know is try one yourself
No other form is quite like this one
Don't tell me I didn't warned you about it
Employ this form and you'll be hooked for life
Lines can go smooth when you're doing this style
Endlessly you want to write just many more
This form quickly can grow on you one day
Style like this I will never stop writing.

~Oh Holy Christmas Day~
( Hotan/ Acrostic)
The snow is falling
Christmas Day is almost here
A most blessed time to spend
With family
Let your heart rejoice
Jesus came
In manger was born
Wonderful star announced his
Birth all through the sky
Christmas day
Holy day, when Baby Jesus was born
Right here it is, enjoy it this day
In a day like this He came down to earth
Santa Claus worship him all the way too
Tender day, oh Holy night
Most wonderful time of the year when you
And I let our voices sing songs to our Lord and
Saviour because He came to save us all
Day oh what a wonderful time when all the
Angels on heaven and on earth rejoice, a day when
You and I join our hearts and voices to celebrate that our King was born.

~Author's Notes:
This whole poem is composed of two poetry forms or styles, and both written separately.
First it is the Hotan, which is a Japanese style of some sort, and then right after is the one written in the Acrostic form:))
~Christmas Time~
(Hotan/Dodoitsu)
Christmas getting close
It's now around the corner
Celebrate baby Jesus
Trees glow bright
Shine with awesome lights
Folks shopping
Time for rejoicing
Think of others that got less
Christmas, time to give
Spread all thru Christmas more love
Spread during Christmas more joy
Spread this holiday more cheer
Keep your heart open

Mother Nature Showed Me Many Styles
Yesterday, I walked a thousand miles
Over hill and dale, through the verdant wood
Saw baby ducks walk by in quacking file
Did not stop to rest or maybe I should
Came to the old elm, now looks to be dead
But the bird nest above looks to be new
This old mind searching to get rid of dread
Then I thought I heard a soft voice but who
Searching about but nothing could I find
But Mother Nature and her great wonders
Just enough to appease wondering mind
I next sat down to that odd thought ponder.
Yesterday, I walked a thousand miles.
Mother Nature showed me many styles.

Note- Finding such beauty, and know life is so precious.
I walked back home a bit renewed. A blessing methinks.
Hurl a new song, health grooves to show;
Appease your soul, applaud your moods;
Ply sweet and strong, pray with clear glow;
Play witty whole, prize what feels good.
Yield to fond zest, yell cheery strains.
Sing of fond feel, surge with sound vibes;
Thrill sensuous quest, touch knows love's gain;
Yes make time heal, your pledge ascribes.
Live that sure hint, love moves kind heart;
Eat, drink and dance, etch grandeur's flow;
See spirits tint, sense sanguine start.
Act out grand chance, art primes bright glow.
Choose to address charm's crafty fit;
Trust in the best, test humour's wit.

POEM 13 LIFE STYLES CHANGES "THE FAMOUS"
THERE ARE MOST CHRISTIAN ALL THERE EVER
WANT FOR ALL THEIR GOALS, THEIR VISION,
THEIR HEART DESIRE AND BLESSING FROM GOD
TO COME TRUE.
THEIR ARE THE FAMOUS.
THEIR HAVE NOT SEEN THE WONDER OF THIS WORLD.
THEIR DON'T HAVE ANY JETS AND LIMOUSINES.
THEIR FACE IS NOT ON ANY PAGES IN ANY POPULAR
OR UNPOPULAR MAGAZINESS. NOT ON ANY TV SHOW.
THEIR THE LIFE STYLES CHANGING FAMOUS.
MR. JERRY WELLS
AUTHOR
Genteel Ladies are careful not to toot
While itty bitty babies laugh when they poop
Big strong men, with hand's on their hips
Lift one leg, and they just let it Rip
“wherefrom came that exalted thought ~
that inspirations with it brought”
Among the several poetry styles
we get to choose from to follow our muse,
what draws us to a cadence that beguiles;
is it intuition or egoic ruse
that for practice compels us to reuse
sacred geometry we had once learnt,
in whose embrace soul's deep emotes were burnt,
transmuted into language symbolic
and so if the format selected weren't,
in which pastures would our words then frolic?
For instance, let's consider this Dizain,
for long unused, stirred within a strong urge
to employ this form, falling like light rain,
whereupon we felt our head and heart merge,
creating music, causing a bliss surge.
Thus it appears we begin with a choice
that's ego driven, then soul lends its voice,
drawing in by magic a joyful beat,
that dances on its own whilst we rejoice,
inking a rhythm that has us all upbeat.
