 Just playing around with short poetry - 

Cinquain (2.4.6.8.2)


Fall

Golden
Little pendants
Floating on the way down
Nourishing new life for the next  
Springtime

—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haiku  (5,7,5)


My Man


The only man for

Me is a boy at heart who

Protects my heart, too


Three Paths

Three paths show me how

Past, present, and future tell

The story of me

—-------------------------------------------------------------------

Triad 

(2,4,6,8,2 format) Comparing 3 different, but connected ideas/things/concepts

In the Night

Cries shriek

After a score,

Bats soaring in night sky,

Teenage girls at a Swift concert

Then still

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Free Verse

Christmas Dreams


My parent’s living room
Orange shag carpet and 
Wood grain paneling, 

visits me In late night 

dreams covering me

With the warmth of childhood..

Visions of holiday tree lights

Cast a warm glow 

through the night

I sleep wrapped in a 

crocheted blanket

All by myself 

as my family sleeps in their own beds.

  1. Such good imagery. Really nice use of poetic forms. I have always avoided poetry, but it will be fun to try these. Thank you, Kathy!
