ABC Of Poetry


ABC are the first three letters of writing. Abecedarian fell in love with Alexandrine under the Acrostic of Alliteration. Ballad came, cloned by Ballade, who wrote a Bio in Blank Verse like a Burlesque Blitz. Canzone yelled "Carpe Diem" in Chant Royal, as Chastushka and Choka looks on. Classicism is the era when Clerihew molded a Concrete Couplet under the caravan of the Cowboy Poetry to make a Crown of Sonnets nebulized in a Crystalline Curtain Sonnet. Diamante penned a Didactic Diminished Hexaverse for Dizain and Dodoitsu -- Double Dactyl was formed to make a Dramatic Monologue in the arena of Dramatic Verse. Ekphrasis was jealous to Elegiac Lyric -- an Elegy was composed in an Enclosed Rhyme. Englyn wrote an Epic of Epigram to confuse the Epitaph of Ephithalamium, Epulaeryu and Epyllion in Etheree. Fibonacci used numbers to make a Footle of Free Verse under the mango tree. Ghazal spotted a Grook named Haibun, stewed Haiku and Hamd -- Heroic Couplet was cooked. Hybronnet flying high in a distant place (I don't know?), an Idyll Imagism flourished in an Italian Sonnet. Jeuju, Kimo and Kwansaba praised Kyrielle for her astonishing beauty like a Lanterne of Lay in Lento. Light Verse followed. List the Lyric, said Limerick. Madah was surprised when Manqabat, Marsiya and Masnavi arrived with Mc Whirtle. A Metrical Tale, so to speak, to witness a Montielle Stanza in Monoku of Monorhyme. Munajat and Mussadas searched for Naat, Name of A Narrative in Nazm, in Ninette of Nonet. Ode arrived in the scene, in Other style. Ottava Rima arrived too. Pantoum casted a spell of Parallelismus Membrorum in a Pastoral Personification to coin Pleiades, a Political Verse in Prose and Prose Poetry. Qasida joined Qawwali in Quatern. Quatorzain and Quatrain are twins of Questionku, speaking English and Sicilian Quintain. Quintilla made his journey too as Rengay sailed in Rhyme -- Rhyme Royal is the ship, traveling by Rictameter in Rispetto. Romanticism is the time when Rondeau and Rondeau Redouble were united in Roundel. Rubai and Rubayat are twins too, in Salaam. Sapphic Stanza is the horse of Sedoka in Seharaa desert -- Sehra is the nickname. Senryu is not the creator of Hello Kitty. Sestina and Shadorma can attest to that. Shape of Sijo is not goodbye in Sonnet, Suzette Prime has the answer in Tail-Rhyme. Tanka and Tazkira are brothers in Terza Rima Mountains -- Terzanelle as it is sometimes called. Tetractys is not a cactus in the desert. Than Bauk is the one. Triolet is not a flower as it sounds, Tristich is. Tritina created a Tyburn of Vaasokht in Verse encrypted in Villanelle to make way to Vogon Poetry.
