The pregunta is a Spanish poetic form that proposes a question and offers a response.

Here are the basic guidelines: Usually a collaborative poem . First stanza presents a question (or series of questions). Second stanza presents an answer while copying the form and structure of the first stanza.

Quick note: The first stanza sets the structure for the second half of the poem. Not only does it decide the subject through the question (or questions) it asks, but it also decides the structure and form for the poem. Writers Digest, Robert Lee Brewer

My attempt at a pregunta: "Ride"

How long will I ride?

Am I seventy?

And should I just hide?

Will I remember?

What if I should slide?

~~

Again, I will ride!

I am sixty-nine!

The show is outside!

No dementia here!

Strength is in my pride!
