Contrapuntal Poem Form Attempt 1
Pat's "New" Hat
A short disagreement
“I’ve no time for your senseless chitchat”
Nodding horizontal heads were sent
“Explain yourself you dirty rat”
Out of shape we both were bent
“Best of luck against my baseball bat”
Waiting for a compliment
“You really think you look good, Pat?”
Misunderstanding what was meant
“You cannot assume I meant that”
Or what was the real intent
“Just give me back my hat”
A Disagreement (Contrapuntal part 1)
A short disagreement
Nodding horizontal heads were sent
Out of shape we both were bent
Waiting for a compliment
Misunderstanding what was meant
Or what was the real intent
Pat Stole My Hat (Contrapuntal part 1)
“I’ve no time for your senseless chitchat”
“Explain yourself you dirty rat”
“Best of luck against my baseball bat”
“You really think you look good, Pat?”
“You cannot assume I meant that”
“Just give me back my cowboy hat”

Abracadabra: New Form REVISED
I have cast a spell o'er thee, wicked one,
Owning, demon clings to our heart and soul,
Tis our love, our hope, together, we're free,
We were young, our life of good hath begun,
Yet thou took thee o'er and away from thee,
Though act's thoust do, sayeth father to son,
Retaliate -- thy consequence thoust cope,
Set thy ship and sail, begone, for thoust won,
Alas, bonds freed, flit darkness lost control,
Together, we're free, tis our love, our hope,
Thy shine gloweth, giveth reason for Sun.

Rain Rhyme
I wonder
I feel aqua
On my sari
Myself a new Version
It is thunder
It is an opera
I feel it mini
Form of edition
In night slumber
The lightning ala
Seems like cini
A Wonderful impression
It is time to ponder
It is a Rain-mania
On seeing spread of algi
Am like a yogi in restrain
I feel wonder
Rainbow is here, an era
Feel like it's a semi
Looks like half balloon

What do you think poetry is?
A love story, a touch of bliss.
Why do you write? What is to you?
It's like a cure my life shines through.
How did it change you? Tell us now?
I am a better man, somehow.
What if you'll never write again?
I think I'll cry lost in the rain.
How do you write? What's your secret?
Every word with love, I feed it.

Why is the sky so blue today?
Because the clouds went far away.
Why is my love unanswered yet?
Because my love I never met.
When will my life be changed for good?
When you will leave this neighborhood.
What is the greatest thing you'll miss?
Without a doubt will be your kiss.
Will you return to save the love?
I'll fly away free like a dove.

the patina of time... secrets
table tops
how many tales could they tell
bronzes too
secrets removed with cleaning
planet earth
patina removed... dying
habitats scraped clean... naked
death reaps death
the patina of time... secrets
truth exposed
and still, we have never learned
if ever
patina... the air we breathe
atmosphere
holds secrets of all world life

What Am I
**********
Dad, thumped a warning!
Silence, now pronounced.
Smelt, a red patch crawling.
A future death announced!
What am I?
The field dead, now haunted.
The thumping did suffice.
The patch stood, up sauntered.
A thumping way of saving life!
What am I?
#LAST WORD POETRY
fireworks, bangers, sparklers, moonshine.
given the choice, which one is yours?
no seconds of wonders sublime.
for me the moon, the world adores.
the light of nighttime lovers dreams.
clear sky, shadows cast by moonshine.
lovers, moon shadows embracing.
true lovers caressing, divine.
no dream, reality facing.
the light of nighttime lovers dreams.
the cool of the brilliant moonshine
dew forming, are they lovers tears
dawn now breaking sweet love refined
true love fulfilled should last for years
the light of nighttime lovers dreams
So, so sorry, my first Serpent's Tail poem a misunderstanding.
Landing me in bother with the inventor of the serpent's tail.
Mail, O I got plenty, reprimanding me, but very gently.
Mentally I thought what wrote was right, she too, thought it nice.
Thrice my attempts were wrong, so this time I have got it right.
Might seem a strange way to reply to any comment, but I often do.
Phew! The last word of every line, with the first of the next, must rhyme.*
Time has helped me, and Catie's nudge has got me through my woe.
So, so sorry, my first Serpent's Tail poem a misunderstanding.

Serpent’s Tail poetry, a new form created by Jane Dougherty
Rules:
Any line length, no set number of lines and no meter. To make the serpent, *the last word of each line rhymes with the first word of the following line with the last line being the same as the first, so the serpent eats its own tail. The last part is the tricky bit.
Copyri
Let us start a life cycle,
look I’m down on my knees,
she looked, and gasped
yes, I will, I will marry thee.
We, now together 49 years,
one year courting, heaven,
still is, though now matured
like vintage, sparkling wine.
Time to crack a bottle, a little
bird has told us that our eldest,
heard proposing, using my,
“Let us start a life cycle”

I’ve tried out a brand new form
It’s strange and not quite the norm
It’s been tried by two
Now how about you?
It’s honey, so start a swarm!!
Tried by R L and F J
Just let your pen find the way
To bring it some fame
Please join in the game
Try it…now what do you say?
Eileenesque sounds so divine
You need to try out your rhyme
Reverse the quatrain
No, it’s not a pain
Results can be quite sublime!
This is my one shot at fame
I know, it does sound so lame
Make my wish come true
Or I’ll just be blue
My life...will not be the same!!!
I want to thank Richard Lamoureux and F J Thomas for trying out my form. My poem…and the explanation of the form you will find under this title….Revenge’s Reward….Richard’s poem is Word Play….and F J Thomas’ Poem is Life’s Invincible Circle- Eileenesque! YES!!!! I had originally thought each stranza could have a mono-rhyme going on so it would be easier to make that fifth line that is tagged on to each quatrain “fit” but you can compare and contrast and give your own feedback. I’m just tickled pink that these two lovely friends and poets made my…..DAY…WEEK…and MONTH!
Census reports an alarming sign
Save tigers or else it’s a crime
Yes of course we saving the tigers-
Brutal human looking giants
Who rule the society by ill power
Who feed on common people
Hold dominant positions of town
We save them with fickle mind.
Tigers loitering freely snatching peace
Moved to cities in human disguise
Thereby we find tigers decrease
Jungles becoming less fearless
Cruelty around has increased
Tigers have gained more than physical
Hearts more sharp than nails
Tigers living freely friend to us
Spreading to become masses
Faces behind faces all so fake
Better to call animals humane
They never deceive, do what they are
Even they learn the chapter of loyalty
Tamed when living with us
These tigers just make life lame
Living freely…feeding on us
Tigers are increasing in cities now
Where we believe humanity resides
Wonder what to call humans now
One day Human Tigers will take over
All animals of world…
