A Lesson on Poetry

The Haiku
A Japanese poem composed of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five morae, usually containing a season word.

Sleep evades my night.
Morning comes without the rest.
Tired eyes I have.

Acrostic
Poetry that certain letters, usually the first in each line form a word or message when read in a sequence.
With
Rhyme
A rhyming poem has the repetition of the same or similar sounds of two or more words, often at the end of the line.

I need my rest.
None I find.
So I write poetry,
Online.
My body's weary.
Night is long.
I could use
A loaded bong.

Iambic pentameter
One short syllable followed by one long one five sets in a row. Example: la-LAH la-LAH la-LAH la-LAH la-LAH

Oh sleep why won't you come to me?
I've cleaned the house.
I've washed the clothes.
I'll have to get the kids to school.
I'm about to go insane.

Name
Poetry that tells about the word. It uses the letters of the word for the first letter of each line.

Spent
Lost
Elusive
Engaging
Peaceful

Burlesque
Poetry that treats a serious subject as humor.
The weary woman awake all night,
completes her chores while the children sleep.
Then she writes her verse online,
because, well, who knows why?
She needs no sleep for days on end,
her thoughts are fuzzy and unclear.
Who needs to be alert to drive,
when the children can scream at an oncoming car?
Zombie zombie through the day,
then like a hamster in a wheel at night.
REM and Delta, STAY AWAY!!!
this woman would like to go insane!!!
Cinquain
Poetry with five lines. Line 1 has one word (the title). Line 2 has two words that describe the title. Line 3 has three words that tell the action. Line 4 has four words that express the feeling, and line 5 has one word which recalls the title.
Insomnia.
Can't sleep.
Awake all night.
Exhausted, frustrated, weepy, annoyed.
Insomnia.

Peace Out,

I admire those that can write poetry. I've never had any talent for it.
