Tom's Satirical Forms of Poetry

all you serious, and formally trained poets, please excuse my satire, but a guy born in Brooklyn NY, (me)- really gets a kick out of this somewhat pretentious classification system for something, to me, is as simple as merely conveying a thought, emotion, idea, image, etc. If it ain't natural, it ain"t real. Don't get mad at me, I'm obviously "mad" already!! ABC Verse-(poems written or performed on Sesame Street?) Carpe Diem-(an ex-Vietnamese leader who happed to be a fish?) Chastushka-(an old, heavy Russian woman yenta?) (or the headscarf she wears?) (or another Russian forrest comet strike?) Cinquain- (a man made and manufactured maleria med, given in 5 parts?) Classicism- (an exorcism for a classy person?) Cherihew- (a French axe for lovers?) Concrete- (a Mafia burial material?) Couplet- (2 lovers allowed to "do their thing"?) Cowboy- (a hybrid mix of a young male human and a domestic female cattleof genus Bos?) Crystalline- (stalagnites, or expensive young female stemware?) Diamantie- (a new Honda auto?) Didactic- (a guy who finally cleans his attic?) Diminished Hexaverse- (a witch's evil spell spoken in a poetic manner in a very soft voice?) Dizain- (either a hair restoration product prone to make the user dizzy, a deceased Jazz musician, or a new cleaning product introduced by, yes, you got it - Billy Mays!!!!) Dodoitsu- (a new form of Japanese martial art created specifically for the near- extinct Do-Do bird?) More to come.............
