Here,once A Cup Stood-a Poem by Koonbey1: 8:33am On Mar 05, 2013 |
Here,once a Cup stood Filled to the Brim Alas,too full to drink Dry Thoughts and dry Smiles Wet lips at the thought of wet Throats But alas,too full to drink Split on the Rocks Empty now,but not quite dry Silvery Trickles;wisps,swirl inside Tantalus,Memories of a Time When a Cup stood,but Too full to drink Empty now,but not quite dry Dry Thoughts and dry Smiles Waiting...Praying... For a cup,filled to the Brim 1 Like |

Koonbey1: Thank you very much Bruv,I didn't write it to any particular form,so i guess its free verse Free verse (vers libre) is nice and popular... Its one of my favourites followed by haiku and Senryu (both are short poems) Keep write man! |

Senryu is also a Japanese styled poem, similar to haiku in structure, however, senryĆ» tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryĆ» are often cynical or darkly humorous and satiric while haiku are serious.. E.g HAPPY HEART the heartbeat drum- soul singing song... ecstatic feeling erupts with smiles visit www.poetrysoup.com to learn more forms of poetry and contest with other great poets all over the world Goodluck! |
