MOVING FORWARD

WEEKLY SCRIBBLINGS  Moving forward to a new format, we're asked to write something on the theme of forward movement.  I took a look back at all the poetic terminology I've encountered here, and I'm looking forward to learning more!  Submitted to Poets & Storytellers United, October 20, 2021

**************


 


Assonance dissonance, volta and rhyme
Seguidilla,,sasparilla, lemon and lime
Stanzaic, syllabic, and skip to milieu
Slant rhyme, unrhyme, haibun and haiku
Such are the concerns of an aspiring poet
One thing to hear it, another to know it
While looking back at challenges met
Moving forward seems timely
There’s much to learn yet!.

  2. OK, that seems like a hint we can take, lol.

    I love your attitude, and your wonderfully rhyming/rhythmic list.
