“Writing well

Elfje: (Cinquain) classic: each word only one syllable

pick
don’t grab
make it quick
catch what you can
choose
.
Senryu: 5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)
.
you can pick your love
will your choice pick you to love
whose heart gets broken
.
Poem:
.
you can’t win if you don’t play
can we treat life like a child’s game
are you a color or are you a bouquet
is there really something in a name
the clouds diminished into rainbows
the seasons came and went
clover in all colors covers the meadows
in nature nothing is ever spent
so many questions and so few answers
discovered today, obsolete tomorrow
does love motivate flamenco dancers
can eyes wide open see a peep show
I’m so content to ask the question
please, just don’t ask me for the answer

“He who draws noble delights
from sentiments of poetry
is a true poet,
though he has never written
a line in all his life.”

poem
oral history
before written word
rhymes easy to remember
bard

Haiku:

a bright sunny day
window view comfortable
winter’s chill outside

Poem:
.
mother cultivated the beautiful iris
from Spanish iris translates to mean rainbow
exquisite colors which remain nameless
captured in the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh
pleasurable emotions tied to beauty
all creation is in perfect balance
except for the crazy who are a little fruity
and those who went down the hole with Alice
the birds and the bees, nature’s splendor
the males awesome colors to attract a mate
the sitting female camouflaged to fool the predator
except for the nerd who can’t get a date
we guess the exception is there to keep the balance
a unique place for the wanna be, the pretender
what God has provided in normals absence
in a mother’s heart everyone is a contender
