~Poetry Bazaar~

Welcome, one and all~

 take a font row seat

our poetry circus will begin

we have jugglers of similies

a tight rope act of sonnets

court jester'd hyperbole tunes

alliterations of crazy clowns cursing

dactyls of fluttering butterflies

hip hop be bop meter and rhyme

stanzas of personifications abound

our theme is a villanelle of understatement

our subplot a spondee of Knick Knacks

where syntax, whose words these are I think I know

quatrains and couplets together in rhythm & time,

ironic symbolism is our first act

a nature of haikus will follow

ending with the Senryu finale...

Please enjoy the show

take a load off and relax

from your point of view

Oh Frieda, this did make me smile. There seem to be many poems around about writing poetry, but they are all so different and yours is a feast for the mind. I love that it's a circus, a metaphor for all the different styles of poetry(as you mentioned) and ways of expressing feelings.
What acrobatics we perform when writing. Your poem is such a lighthearted view of the process.
Wonderfully penned!

[Frieda P]

Good way to put it wordwarrior, 'acrobatics' ha, very similar to poetry. :-) Thanks my friend.

OMG - Im such a big fan of the Beatles and this just coursed through me veins like 'Being for the benefit of Mr Kite' that I had to skip all the queued-up RRs and just say that this is bloody brilliant Frieda - totally got lost in the roll up - roll up format and the whole ambience of the ye olde funfair.

[Michael G. Smith]

This is bizarre poetry, hehe, I couldn't resist. It was quite an introduction to the rest of the show here among the more poetry and you left nothing out.

[Frieda P]

I'll let you slide with that one Mike...ha, thanks, jazzed you enjoyed.

[Michael G. Smith]

That's very kind of you. I knew you had a sense of humor.

[Michael G. Smith]

Your verse were jumping through rings of fire, words a high of death defying lines of wire.

[Frieda P]

I'd not be here if I didn't that's for sure....

[Tom C]

That is very imaginative.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Tom, glad you enjoyed this one...

[Tom C]

When I can take more time I will swim in all of your genius and read everything you have written.

[Frieda P]

Holy cats I don't believe you just said that, I just published a poem 'Swim in you' lol...and thanks again. :-)

[Tom]

Splendid appellation Frieda and with so many star performers on view at this literacy bazaar, I might not get on stage to recite a little cricket poetry !

(Unless you put a word in for me to the director... pretty please Frieda ? )

[Frieda P]

Psssh, anything for you my cricket friend.... :-)

[TL Boehm]

[Frieda P]

My pleasure!

[Great Aunt Astri]

The amazing multi-coloured coat of poetry! You take alight look at what can be a very serious subject.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Aunt Astri, just having a bit of fun, glad you enjoyed.

[Great Aunt Astri]

I think it is important to enjoy writing poetry. Fun poems are lovely, but you can also get a great feeling after writing a well thought out serious poem.(After the initial inspiration from the heart)

[Firestone Feinberg]
