A Rhupunt Poem
Here’s my attempt at this form
These are the guidelines for the rhupunt:
• The form can be broken down into lines or stanzas
• Each line or stanza contains 3 to 5 sections
• Each section has 4 syllables
• All but the final section rhyme with each other
• The final section of each line or stanza rhymes with the final section of the other lines or stanzas

Old Fleabag
On the table
A white cat sat
Though he knew that
He’s not allowed
I tried to chase
Him from that place
Look on his face
Haughty and proud
I yelled and clapped
My fingers snapped
He was not rapt
Meowed out loud
I raised a flag
White paper bag
That old fleabag
Would not be cowed

Another new form to try out. Naughty Old Fleabag! I’m pleased that my two don’t go on the table, but Mojo loves sitting on my desk!

Never heard of this form, interesting though.
That’s a cat for you, stood his ground.
