A Literary Jungle

(Never done this kind of poem before so be kind!)

I'm exploring a Literary Jungle,
The creatures here are very humble.
No species is the same,
Each group has a name,
Nouns, and such like, they're a jumble!

Together they all mingle and live,
Some try to sort them through this 'sieve',
In categories they'll put them,
But then they lose their rhythm,
No, absolute freedom we must give.

As a writer, I'm here to tame the words,
Make them beautiful, put them into herds,
But they're wild, you see,
It's not that easy,
You can't mix buffaloes and birds!

So we study them, see which get on,
Play with them all day long,
We've grown to love them,
Each one is a gem,
So let's celebrate and write, now be gone!

Poetic Bodily Functions

Twisting and shaping words and vowels Flooding out like emptying dodgy bowels. Paragraphs lining up like steps on a ladder Rhymes pouring out like a really full bladder.

Hail To The King Baby!

It had been a long time coming, he wasn't there because he was vain. He was there because he deserved it, and King Leelee was his name. The throne suited his bottom, as he suited the top.

Weasel!

Write a poem about weasels you said. The thought of weasels fills me with dread. Nothing really rhymes with weasels you see. And I'm all about the rhyming and that's just me.

Dizzying

Constant consonants and various vowels. Used to confuse and twist in your mouth. A relentless write rigorously wrote. Spiralling sentences slipperily spoke. A wondrously winding wave of words.

Acrostic Great Divide

Acrostics acrostics everywhere. Colorful bright they are. Roses in the dark. One for those so close and far. Sinful not to display. The greatest works of art. Ignite inspirations flame.
