Lessons in Form
by Brian FrancisThe forms we use to cast our thoughts
from the page to our reader's mind
Can often be both learned and taught
if only, we just take our time
Assembling all the words just right
tweaking just how they are combined
A form can be both strict and tight
if only, we just take our time
Meter is the tool of measure
deciding how the poem is lined
rhyme can be a poet's pleasure
if only, we just take our time
Soon the task will be completed
the poem will be clearly defined
With every line fairly treated
if only, we just take our time 02/05/2017 Author's Note: Form- Kyrielle (axaZ, bxbZ, cxcZ, dxdZ)
