What is Poetry?

Poetry is a river, poem after poem moves along in the exciting crests and falls of the the river waves. None is timeless; each arrives in an historical context, almost everything, in the end, passes.

-Mary Oliver (A Poetry Handbook)

What is Poetry? My Definition!

It also a way to make others happy

Acrostic

The word acrostic is formed from the Greek word acros (outermost) and stichos (line of poetry).  The acrostic is a poem where the first letter of each line forms a word when you read them looking downward.

Haiku

COMPOSING A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE HAIKU POEM The 300-year old Haiku Poem has its own distinct

discipline:- Each complete poem has only three lines, totalling 17 syllables.

- the first line must be five syllables- the second line must be seven syllables- the third line must be five syllables

When these rigid conditions are met, the result can be a very satisfying word picture .

Birds take wing on high, gliding over angry wavesback to their safe nests.

Rapunzel’s Rap

Rapunzel was a girl with hair of goldTrapped in a tower in days of old

She wasn’t allowed outside to playAnd her golden hair grew longer each dayGrew longer and longer and longer each day.

The witch who locked her up was meanWith a pointed nose and a face of greenMean mean meaner than the queen of mean.

- Sonja Dunn
