Introduction

This idea came into my head to build a poem about the parts that we can use to create a poem. I thought about a reverse nonet, but what I am using is several bits of poetic formats starting with an introductory quatrain, though I wanted that to be a single line but the nature of what I needed to say required some details, so this will be very much a mish mash of forms but I will maintain eight syllables a line, and throw in some rhymes.

Even when I write Freeform, I still make it difficult for myself.

I don't know how this will end, and it may be a complete train wreck, but you know that I have to try it.

🏦💒🧱🏛️🧱💒🏦

A Letter Can Be Part Of A Word

A Word Can Then Build A Sentence

What Happens Next Is Not Absurd

We Can Build Such Sense And Nonsense

🧱🏛️🧱

That Line Then Becomes A Singlet

🧱🏛️🧱

Add One More Line For More Detail

And Then You Now Have A Couplet

🧱🏛️🧱

Do Not Stop There, You Cannot Fail

Another Line In This Construct

We've Now In Our Hand A Tercet

🧱🏛️🧱

Now We Are Back We We Started

And Yes, We Are Here Once Again

So Have My Senses Departed?

For Me To Create This Quatrain

🧱🏛️🧱

Although I Could Go Much Further

I Will Check Myself And Abstain

From Me You'll Get No More Blather

I'll Finish Off With This Quatrain

Thanks For Reading. I Am Flattered
