Sunday Scribblings "Organic"

Written for Sunday Scribblings - Organic prompt.


ORGANIC

POETRY

Organic poetry sounds good to me!

Rhymes but it doesn’t have to don’t you know?

Ghazal, I only tried it once to see...

Acrostic? No not me, I’m much too slow.

Narrative not necessarily free.

Iambic pentameter starts to crow,

Cinquain has two four six eight two to show.

Poetry is much too complicated.

Ode in olden days, she’s set in her ways!

Elegy is no allergy dated,

Tanka haiku,thank you, which way you say?

Renga, Jenga, they all fall down, hated.

Yazoo and Gibbo and all the gang, hey!

  5. Well, this was a learning poem. Well, should poetry follow a particular form. Doesnt it become an exercise and the essence of expression would be lost in understanding the rules1

    Like this post.

  7. Hi Sue@Tumblewords, Thank you so much for reading this and making such a wonderful comment.

  8. Hi Jeeves, poetry is a microcosm of life and life is one great big learning curve. If we don't exercise we get fat and lazy and the only thing that's lost in understanding is perhaps innocence. There again, breaking the rules is fun too...

    Hi Anthony,
    I thought you were going to say hip hop! Or was it be bop in your day? Only joking I reckon I'm a titchy, midgy teeny weeny little bit older than you anyway.

  9. Hi Anthony, I hate to admit to being over 29 but if your birthday is before August 25th. then you're older than me - which would actually mean that we would have been in the same year at school. 1955 Phew! I hope the casual reader of these comments is unable to dicpher the code!

  14. Great take on this prompt! And so much fun to read. As far as forms go, sometimes they're fun to try but mostly I prefer just...writing...

  20. Hi Rambler, It's not the quantity it's the quality, or so they tell me.
