Default Interesting poetry exercise you might like

I thought this might be an interesting thing to do to test out our poetry and to try our hand at a style other than our normal one.

I stumbled across this article:

Todays-Woman - Find Your Poetry Style

Which gives an example of each of the styles in the box below.

Ok, so the aim here is to try your hand at these styles of poetry, and be brave enough to put it up in this thread under the appropriate heading:


Quote:
Exercise 1 - Acrostic Poetry

Exercise 2 - Cinquain Poetry

Exercise 3 - Triolet Poem

Exercise 4 - Tongue Twisters

Exercise 5 - Couplet

Exercise 6 - Ghazal

Exercise 7 - Epiphany Poem

Exercise 8 - Limerick

Exercise 9 - Letter Poems

Exercise 10 - Quatrain Poetry

Interested?

I will also be having a try to, I just need to cook dinner for the kids first, and the usual mummy stuff, so I will add my attempts later.

Looking forward to seeing your responses.
