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?
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?
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.
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
Alphabets are not the only ABCs
Get the analogy, if you will, please
An ode could be a work of art
But a Senryu, not for the faint of heart
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
PS: I am not a poet.
I simply love to rhyme.
It makes it so much easier
Though not worth a dime

Oh the reason I Can do without….not the rhyme 😛
A verse a poet makes?
I’m surprised that’s all it takes!
Until this moment I called them fakes.
Sorry…I got caught so up in the rhythm of your post. I like the unsaid bits!
Ah, thank god someone noticed. I was beginning to wonder that only I could read between the lines, lol.
Absolutely Loved it !
and btw I so love the smurfs 😛
Me too Ruchira. I put Smurfs there intentionally. At least people will V for Visit 😛
That’s a cute one
Smurfish like ruchira said 😉 and I don’t know so many kinds of poems even if I write them
Afshan, neither do I….hence gave a statutory warning 😛
That’s a good one! I understand these kind of poems pretty easily 😀
So do I Shilpa 😀
Cute one! I love simple ones like this, coz I could understand it in one read. 🙂
I am glad you did 🙂
I marvel at the way you express yourself! nice poem
Thanks Angela, that’s the only way I know how to be. Expressive 🙂
Piece of art! I wish in my dreams I could be so fluid with words 🙂

Ah, a compliment from a worthy writer always makes me smile 🙂
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? 🙂
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.
For better or for verse…was so caught up with your words. Nice.
Gracias Janu 🙂
Who said you are not a poet ?!You have created magic with your rhyme-whyme 🙂
Ah, these simple charms you call magic. Very well then. 😛
Loved it!
And the expression on that Smurf 😀
Added Smurf for extra brownie points. 😀
LOL!! I still liked you poem, even though you profess not to be a poet!
I am not. I just like the rhyme sing song pattern 😀
Brilliant ! Wish I was still teaching in a school ,I would have used it !!! Jacinta
