#poetryform poems on Hello Poetry

Joss Lennox May 7

There is a robot in my pocket,
it's smart enough to design rockets,
but just gives the forecast,
and knows all about my past,
it even works with no socket.

playing around with poetry forms and limericks this evening. let me know what you think!

Hours & Minutes

today, I'm a leaf clinging—
on a morning branch swinging
long stretched evenings

giving haiku another shot. I wrote this poem to describe how I'm feeling today, to put it simply, I'm tired from not getting enough sleep and from work/responsibilities. I honestly have no excuse, my husband and I have been staying up too late watching our shows (now I really sound like I'm 111). We don't get a lot of time together once we get our kids to bed, so we tend to lose track of time.

The Paradelle

it may have been a parody
may have been in jest
written to be awful
certainly not his best

but in and of itself
it doesn't come across
as parody or humor
more as a gaping dross

but I challenge anyone
to follow rules precise
to form the proper stanzas
make them turn out concise

an attempted joke by Billy
has been turned upon its ear
it can be done "correctly"
and won't just disappear
