A lexical set or a rule of three
Rhyming words or an analogy.
Iambic pentameter or just free verse
Acrostic, nostalgic without a rehearse.  

Pathetic Fallacy with cloud and rain
Feelings on a page without restrain.
A ballard, a couplet a villanelle or two
AA BB it's up to you.

Personification with trees that moan
Onomatopoeia with frogs that groan.
Similes slither like a snake in sand
Metaphor branches are our hands.

Alliteration angels always await
Sitting on the symbolic gate.
Assonace with early birds and worms
Writing it all in poetry terms.

There once was a girl from the city
Who in her youth was quite pretty
But she decided to write
Stayed up every night
Looking for something quite gritty.

What would I find if I broke down your wall?
Taking it down brick by brick.
If I looked inside I would find nothing at all?
Yes you would you stupid *****!

What would I find if you broke down my wall?
Moving it round trick by trick.
If you looked inside would you see it or call?
No you wouldn't you make me sick!

Why do I find that I like my closed wall?
Hiding its sound tick by tick.
If you're living inside then how can you fall?
The coffin is ready better be quick!

Today I went on a very long DRIVE
FRIENDS we have to keep us alive
Plan and be sure that I WILL arrive
Certain things can help us SURVIVE.

TODAY I was brave and took my car
Always NERVOUS about going too far FOLLOW a route or almost a star
Destination on my RADAR.

Today I LAUGHED and did not cry
Much TIME wasted to lay and to sigh
And NOW I sit and wonder why
Minutes, hours you cannot BUY.

Today I drove to have coffee
With  you.
You cancelled on me
But we saw it through.
Wasn't giving up on a friend
I once knew.
Saw the scars and
Knew it was true.
And though it's not visible I have
Hurt there too.
Meeting a friend
