gurunAthan Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Tinker's Poetic Forms: Tetrastich (gurunAthan ramaNi) 01. How do they know?(iambic trimeter) A raven and a dove On my water tank above When it starts to overflow How do they even know? 02. Fishworm!(trochaic tetrameter) Slowly, sadly, drags the earthworm! Put your finger tip it squirms Daddy takes his fishing rod makes it dangle, O my God! 03. Rainbow!(iambic pentameter) The gentle breeze, it makes the ants dizzy My dad is on his phone, he's always busy! The drizzle stopped, the sky is back in flame The rainbow fades as quickly as it came! ***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 What an amazing exercise creating small gems in variable meter. I love the unique imagery. "dizzy ants" dangling earthworms Very cool. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
