~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.

hahahahahahahahaha I am gasping for breath here, from laughing so hard, and my little dog is looking at me wondering if he ought to call 911...
This is priceless, Hun! I love it!

[Frieda P]

Ha thanks Angel, apparently your pooch doesn't write poetry.

[Angel]

[Coyote Poetry]

I enjoy the poem. I'm a Gypsy in spirit. I like those wild and free carnivals and bazaar. Nice flow of words took the reader to good places. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Don't forget: The daring young man on the free-verse trapeze, he writes on the air with the greatest of ease.

I always knew this place was a circus. Very much fun my sweet friend.

[Frieda P]

Shoot, why didn't I think of that?!! Ha, thanks Jack.
