A short poem 10 lines or less where the trick is to use a close rhyme risking how far you can stretch what is called a rhyme, in free style, any subject matter, and as I see something I'll award points for it. All terms can be found in Lewis Turco's Book of Forms, University Press 2000. As I reinvestigate the poems, it will be a learning experience for me also. C'mon CND set your minds free. Don't be scared; Don't be weird; Just pull out your pen and bleed*..Hey! Just rant, rhyme, and write *And hopefully I'll see something tommorrow. *that's what's called a ceasura, a still, a pause. *that's my idea of a bad line. Even though there is a consonance of ll,ll,and rr and euphony in the ee in see and something, it still sound clunky.
