Are we two lines in a frame? Let lapse of our sin and shame. Strikes on the clay are to blame.

Premium Member Retail's naughty c-shirt

A t-shirt you'd buy at the mall
An acrostic on it would scrawl
With re-cycle first
Re-use was then versed
Two lines more caused a small recall

Premium Member One Small Indiscretion

One wild happy-go-lucky senryu
Was caught impersonating a haiku
They levied no fines
But removed two lines
Now she's a stick-in-the-mud monoku

I always thought a couplet was romantic - two lines and two lovers together,
‘til your hand brought a third line into our poem, breaking that rhyme forever.

Drought -Two Lines

Hunger laid out its pot waiting for a harvest of grain,

But the barren land was parched, so forgotten by the rain.

From horizon to zenith's point and then to Crimson dusk he moved

While I kept watching leaves turning hues which now swim on blue water

Premium Member Setting Ogden Nash Straight

     Ogden Nash penned these two lines
        ‘How odd of God
           to choose the Jews’

     My reply across the times 
        ‘God would never choose
           ~ a people who would lose’

Hexaverse
Definite pattern to be learned
Five lines of five syllables
Now four of four
Hexaverse happy
Three lines of three syllables
Two lines of two
Hexaverse’s last line
One line of syllable
Well done
Pattern mastered

A Mind Set

Set your jaw towards the night. Let the magma of your veins spill from your eyes, blazing truth.

Stand when you’ve fallen, brushing ashes from your Stars -and set your jaw towards the night.


** my motto condensed into two lines **

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 Enthralled

I'll find some way to pass the time
While waiting for your call
I think I'll write a poem
A short one, kinda small
But don't be fooled by lack of words
These two lines say it all,
"Tonight you looked so beautiful,
With you I am enthralled!"

Butterfly (A Revision)

Open up
I say to thee
obey the voice
of destiny

awaken now*
to summers fare*
and taste the fragrance
in the air

awaken
out of long remiss
lay aside thy chrysalis

Open up
I beg of thee
open...
open sesame!


* these two lines revised

In Response to Poem of the Day

When someone you really will want to convince,
Commence with making much common sense
And I am always willing to bet without regret
Above two lines are surely a short poem couplet

Stage- outlined in Octave
Sestet- four-line feedback
