.           Doing a Line

    In the beginning poetry
     was not yet composed.

  Yeats country didn’t exist,
nor did Limerick or Haiku,
Ballad, Lament, Elegy, Ode,
Sonnet, Villanelle or Acrostic.

 God intended proliferation.

Soon after the first rhyming
 couplet began to do a line,
the quatrain was born and
so it spread, hence the word

                Universe.
