eulogies and elegies
rhythms and melodies
limericks and odes
meters and modes

poetry and prose
maybe's and knows
lyrics and lines
cadence's and rhymes

we say and we sing
'bout most anything
can banter or preach
a blog or a speech

a stanza of sonnet
fourteen lines upon it
to pour out a thought
of wisdom or naught

we can offer a narrative
allude to comparative
a haiku of some measure
for your reading pleasure

a few lines of verse
but keep it quite terse
Shakespeare well knows
'most anything goes

to say and to write
all day and all night
a quatrain sounds good
but might be misunderstood

so i write now to you
what, i haven't a clue
and think i've said 'nough
'bout this poetry stuff
