Premium Member Triolet

Triolet has refrains
 The first two lines ring out
 They bring it back again,
 There are rhyme schemes that flow,
 This is a French verse form
 That threads the lines with grace
 Then ends as it began

Premium Member Poetry, My Vocal Outlet-JU

I speak in tutored rhyme schemes 
of a world etched in wild dreams
deep red hue as ample phrase
from my voice that worldly maze

Lyric torrent’s golden twang
versed in magic tone I sang
pouring heaven on a page
laced with bright notes to assuage

Premium Member Foxes

A fine family of foxes, 
a feisty mom and her two kits
living near humans by shrewd wits.
Her constant success flummoxes. 
Kits are tiny jack-in-the-boxes,
heads bobbing while mom baby sits. 

NB: Other - Sextilla: A Sp. stanza form of six octosyllabic or shorter lines. In the classic period, the usual rhyme schemes were abbaab.

Premium Member Word Flow

Syllable counts and rhyme schemes
Give a poem form and distinction
But the free verse has no restrictions
And your words may flow as you deem

 The number of lines are important too
Five for the Tanka and three for the haiku
Limericks have five,  there are  three in the senryu
A four line bio is called a clerihew

Premium Member Bitter End

Breath of life in a forlorn one,
uplifted face to brace the wind,
called His name with prayer to send.
Forgive me! I have come undone.
I lost my way, now moribund,
and all I’d hoped was to ascend.

I Never Wrote A Sonnet

I have never wrote a sonnet in my life
fourteen lines of iambic confusion
I’m not as poetically gifted
as Shakespeare or Petrarch
because pentameters and quatrains
are perfectly not my style
and too flat out antiquated for my liking
It’s rhyme schemes
always oppress me
line after line
stanza after stanza
as if I’m never allowed
to journey beyond
the black lines
while shading a picture
inside of a child’s coloring book
with a box of Crayola crayons
