THIS WEEK'S POETRY POTLUCK #32, is offering the wonderful challenge of ART, MUSIC, and POETRY. What a great choice!!
WRITING POETRY
My words are floaters,
little suicides
bobbing to the surface,
assembling into a sonnet.
My own wit lies concealed,
waiting to be dissected
by sages of doggerel.
Some find another Ode
on a Grecian Urn,
identify an element of beauty,
others hoot at a cliche'.
I count off a haiku
on my fingers,
kick a tanka into shape,
run with a necklace of triolets,
and fall head over heals
for a pantoum.
No matter what the price,
this is where
I enter paradise.
