growing pains

growing pains

 

this poem is boney meter and stanza –

gangly, dangly lines and phrases.

it stumbles over its own feet,

has no rhyme or rhythm. it dreams

of becoming a sonnet, even an ode.

and when its feeling optimistic, it can

Imaging itself a villanelle.

  7. I love this quadrille, Candy, and how it grows, especially the internal rhyme of ‘gangly, dangly’ and the way it stumbles over its feet in its eagerness to become a poem.
