Poetry

  As somewhat of a book reviewer, I have to believe that anyone reading this would think "Hey, she criticizes them all the time, but could she actually do any better?" My answer to that is- ehh, not really, no. Writing is not my passion as much as reading is! Nevertheless (I love that word!), I have decided to share some of my poems from a recent English project with you nonexistent followers! YEAH!

Haiku

This Haiku should be

 about nature or wind but

I find wind boring.

Free Verse

Many poems are hard to write, for they

require too much counting, and the constant

worry that one line contains too many 

syllables, or that you couldn’t define 

a leaf using enough specific words

such as courageous, masterful, touching;

But how is a leaf any of those things? 

That’s for you to figure out, in seven

syllables and three lines, no more, no less,

and it will have to rhyme, ABA is

essential to form a proper poem.

I hate whenever there is a time that

I have to rhyme. It’s never sublime when

I can’t be a mime. You see? Not for me!

Couplets, and doublets, all getting mixed in

my courageous, masterful, touching mind.

I don’t believe that will ever work, so

I will retire from this constraining

process some call writing poetry. It 

is too stressful, ten syllables is not

enough per line to express my frustra-

That's all for now folks!
