On the first of the month, you can now experiment with freestyle poetry, as long as you also add a syllabic form to your poem.
Here is an old Halloween poem that I wrote in 2013. I bring it out every year, it’s one of my favourites, so I make no apologies. It is a rhyming couplet . AA,BB,CC,DD,GG,HH,II,JJ,
~~~~~~~~~~
I know that it is raining, I can see that it wet
But you are my familiar, and not a blooming pet!
I have asked you nicely I have even said please
Now go and get me food or I shall infest you with flees.
Excuse me, Lady Mistress, this does not seem quite right
Just where in my contract does it say I have to work for you at night!
You have run me ragged every minute of today.
I am tired and my feathers wet, here in the warm I need to stay.
Pardon me! my fine feathered friend, pardon me my beauty.
I am not requesting, I am demanding that you do your duty.
I am the one in charge, not you, I’m the tortured Vampire.
You do as I bid, what are you waiting for. Wet weather attire?
Well Mistress that would not go amiss for I am not a duck,
And if I get lost you will miss out and that would be bad luck.
Be Gone! Get out! and find me fresh blood
And if you play your cards right I’ll dip you in the stream on your return to remove the mud.
