Chapter 15: Poetry By Mitch Hamer

Hi Guys,
Thought I'd write a poem today, so here it is:

Poetry

A poem should be easier to write

No set structure or words that are needed

I cannot promise it will be just right

To get this far, my skills, I've exceeded

They say that poems do not have to rhyme

But I have to prefer the ones that do

I do not write poems all of the time

And based on these lines you know that is true

A poem like this should have a meaning

But I don't know what that is meant to be

My knowledge of poetry is lacking

But I know some formats to some degree

You may have noticed this was a sonnet
When it comes to those, I'm really on it

Mitch Hamer

So that was a poem that took me quite a while to write, but it follows the structure and rhyming sequence of a sonnet and is indeed written in iambic pentameter, which really is as far as my poetry knowledge extends.

Until next time,

Stay Happy,

Write a poem,

And goodbye.
