poetry styles

[Backseat Radio]

I've watched some of the poetry you guys post on the board and sometimes wondered about attempting to do poetry myself.  I've not done poetry since high school so I had to do a search on styles of poetry to even know where to begin or what was appropriate for poetry.  In the proces I come across this. I had no idea there was that many styles of poetry.   some of the styles to me sound like they'd be challenging to do.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing. I would agree that some of them are very tedious to adhere to. It's pretty cool when you get one finished, though. Then, of course, there are the fun ones like haiku and limericks.

 what a way to do poetry 

It would be interesting to see how long of a  coherent poem one could do with monorhyme

I see my topic got moved   

Good thing you put where it got moved to otherwise I'd never find it again cause I rarely venture into this area of the board.

That's what the MOVED: topics are for.

p.s. I love playing with different syles of poetry.  I remember studying them in high school.  Fun for sure!

Haiku is my favorite form. It's random. and short. kinda like my sentences.

It's funny what you find in the old stuff when you see a "guest" looking at it.

Mine flows kind of like a rap and kind of like a poem you would hear in a beatnik coffee place

Anybody remember Maynard before he was Gilligan? They had some Dobie Gillis shows on when I was still home before going to NY, and had someone tape me some of the shows.

Maynard was the best part of that show.....
