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

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
