There are “at least” 3 kinds of ENGLISH POETRY
1. BALLAD STANZA
Consist of
4 lines in each Stanza,
Line 2 and 4 rhyme
“ MY KITTEN WON’T STOP TALKING”
My kitten won’t stop talking
She just prattles night and day
She walks around repeating
Nearly everything
My kitten never says “meow”
She never even purrs
She mimics me instead
In that annoying, voice at hers
She waits for me to speak
And then copies “every words”, or
Begs me for a cracker
And says “I’m a pretty bird”
I am not sure what to do, and so
I simply grin and bear it
She’s been this way since yesterday
That’s when she ate my PARROT
2. COUPLET
Consist of
2 lines rhyme
“TURTLE TROUBLE”
Tell me if you think you know
How to make turtle go
I’ve pushed, I’ve tapped and I’ve really tried
But mine, I think is stuck inside
3. TRIPLET
Consist of
3 lines rhyme
“THE TOUCAN”
Tell me who can
Catch a toucan
Lou can
Just how few can
Ride the toucan
Two can
What kind of go can
Stick you to the toucan
Glue can
Who can write some?
More about the toucan
You can
“MY DAUGHTER WANTS TO BE A DOCTER”
I HAVE A DAUGHTER
SHE TOLD ME WANTS TO BE A DOCTER
I SAID “PLEASE DO ME A FAVOUR”
I’M AFRAID OF NEEDLE
IT MAKES ME CRADLE
I’ILL BE STUCK LIKE A TURTLE
