Constructing a poem...
This of course is not a building site
No hard hat and goggles to help your plight
No pneumatic diggers or riggers
No sniggers or gigglers
No wolf whistles or fights
If it rhymes it must be right.
Of course things have changed
The rules have been re-arranged
You can make notes and make a choice
Yet it doesn’t have to sound like it has a voice
If it doesn’t rhyme, it isn’t wrong
Profound thought’s not always song
Assonance, consonance, dissonance
Texture meaning making romance
Even make a stance
Let alone a song and dance.
So here we have a modern verse
That doesn’t have to be too diverse
We can mix it and match it
Not everyone will catch it
The production of the construction…..

Ah- as hard to teach the construction of a poem as to nail down rhyme and reason...some basics we must know,
but it's the emotions which do flow,
to make the verse.
A fun read. |

Very entertaining! Enjoyable to read and pretty much everything covered. Liked all the words in the first stanza, and every stanza is nicely rhymed too. My favorite is the third.

Ah, the perils of the modern verse. This piece says it all, just about anything goes in the name of poetry these days.
Some verse has no structure,
Some verse has no rhyme,
It changes as the world turns,
One distorted line at a time. |
