Last night the westerly wind
climbed up the western walls
tearing ivy from its sockets at every meter
to glimpse the eastern dawn.
Poetry's an arduous art.
It requires skill and meter
and a poet with very rare heart,
or he will tire and teeter.

The rhyme,
my consort
The meter,
my friend
The music,
my mistress
On whose love,
—I depend

You're my poem
My consummate rhyme
And I could reread you
Time after time
Flowing in meter
Perfect in sync
Inscribed on my heart
In indelible ink
A sentence or two, nothing more.
Five rhymes, and then back out the door.
A meter that’s strained,
Some topic profaned:
Ah me! What’s a limerick for?
My poetry really does suck.
I look for true rhymes, but get stuck.
Though my meter is fine,
When you follow each line
you’ll see that they all run amok.
Sometimes I get so sick of rhyming
All the meter and structure of rhyming
When I just need to say
What I've wanted to say
Without worrying about rhyming

Sapphic works are hard for a novice writer.
Tricky is the fact of the meter changes.
Stress or non it can but confuse the reader.
Writhes here my sapphic.
I truly apologize to any reader.
I've run out of change for my poetry meter.
Please send me some quarters or a quartette.

There once was a poet named Bieter
Who, when asked how he measured his meter
Said, my rhythm's kaput
So I just use the foot
Which is about the size of my peter
well you got me beat
the wrong end
of the meter stick

Flat white seed planted
a meter from window
three weeks: hi from window
Sitting in a breeze,
Soaking in the sun,
Feel the beat beginning,
Pulsing on the run.
With a common built in ease
The sights and country scan
In a hidden meter.

Once while suffering from writer’s curse,
a man’s symptoms grew steadily worse.
He first lost his rhyming,
next, meter and timing,
and succumbed to AI for bad verse.
Sometimes I struggle to write a poem.
Frankly it's really hard to do 'em,
With the meter and rhyme,
I do think it's a crime
To write poems to rule, not what moves 'em.
Let me tell you what I sometimes think
And why I am so often forced to drink
Most of what I write will be forgotten
'Cuz my rhyme and meter are so rotten
Straight
from the
Heart, sling 'em
Forget all that
meter, metaphor
and rhyme...just sling
'em from your
pure Heart
Straight
Peter ran up on a nude beach in a swoop
Wearing just a cape he jumped into a group
With perfect meter
He yelled, "Super Peter!"
A voice in back said, "I'll just have the soup!"
