V vinifies VERSE

Google Image
When the wondrous word bells chime
I s’pose you’ve composed a rhyme
But wait, hold on, do you mind?
Poetry you write, but what kind?
ย 
Is it a sonnet that works the lines?
Or a Haiku with seasonal signs?
Perhaps a limerick worth a laugh?
Or is it an insightful epitaph?
ย 
No, No, No, don’t hold your head
Cacophony could render you dead
The irony won’t go missing there
A couplet could’ve saved the day.
ย 
Allegory might’ve made twice the sense
I prefer a love ballad, in my defense
Enjabment straddles across the road
As your rhyme threatens to explode
ย 
Alphabets are not the only ABCs
Get theย analogy, if you will, please
An ode could be a work of art
But a Senryu, not for the faint of heart
ย 
I could go on with this charade
But I hate to rain on your parade
To be a poet, many have tried
For better or for verse, you decide
ย 
PS: I am not a poet.ย 
I simply love to rhyme.ย 
It makes it so much easierย 
Though not worth a dime

    A verse a poet makes?
    I’m surprised that’s all it takes!
    Until this moment I called them fakes.

      Ah, a compliment from a worthy writer always makes me smile ๐Ÿ™‚

  12. Cynthia Rodrigues Manchekar avatar

    That was educational indeed. Thank you for introducing us to the different kinds of verse there are.
    By the way, vinify means to make wine.
    Not entirely unrelated, don’t you think? ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      Cynthia, I discovered the word vinification last year or the year before, not too sure. And yes, this was written more with vinify in mind than the kinds of verses….lol.

  13. JANU avatar

    For better or for verse…was so caught up with your words. Nice.
