How Do I Love Thee

By merb010

“How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth

and breadth and height

My soul can reach.”

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Elfje: (Cinquain)

cost

how much

value+fees+taxes

what market will bear

price

Senryu: 5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

feeling kinda blue

I really miss seeing you

your smiles make my day

Poem:

easy words
a lesson for everyone
something about the bees and the birds
making learning fun

no subliminal innuendo
shooting straight from the hip
no need for a big crescendo
pictures from a comic strip

short words
a story for everyone
something about the ladies and lords
making life fun

choose the words that cannot tell a lie
straight from the stiff upper lip
put the ice cream atop your apple pie
doing a roundover into a backflip

long hard words
impressing no one
something about measuring wood in cords
if you can read you have already won

be a winner, read my poems every Saturday and Sunday
always written in short easy words

ME and the Boss
