~Poetry Bazaar~

A Poem by Frieda P

Welcome, one and all~
 takefont 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!

A three ring circus filled with dazzling acts, graceful performances and magic tricks, made complete with dancing monkeys, clowns and side show freaks. A poetry Bizarre indeed.

Ha dancing monkeys makes me laugh, mostly cheeky ones! Thanks Dye.
A circus indeed - fun, entertaining, death-defying - and a touch of mystery... Cleverly penned, Frieda!

Ha death-defying, most days yep, thanks Rita!
In love with your pen hand, Frieda. Beyond fresh and so very fun of a read, but also purposeful. Outstanding, a true accomplishment.

Thanks Pryde, glad you enjoyed my three ring circus.
Oh goodie, goodie! We have a circus on the Cafe and it seems as if the big tent is packed with prime time entertainment. I can smell the popcorn and peanuts and am especially amused by all the monkeys - OMG, they are loose - they are now in all 3 rings, and here comes Frieda with some soothing words to lure them back and there's ....... with a big banana to share! Oh, I know I am bad! But, we are all kids at a circus and a poetry circus is when we can be the absolute "baddest"!!
Cute, really, cute! I love it!!!
