Some old poetry I wrote while in high school and college.
Blank Verse - Unrhymed verses of indeterminate length using iambic pentameter. Very popular form of poem since it doesn't need to rhyme or fit in a particular length.
Free Verse - Unrhymed verses of indeterminate length using no meter. Very very popular form of poem since it doesn't need to rhyme, has no meter, and no fixed length.
South Breeze, South Wind - I wrote this in high school. My only published poem.
Sonnets - Sonnets are of Italian origin. They should be 14 lines of iambic pentameter. There are two types of sonnets, based on rhyming scheme: the Italian Sonnet uses a rhyming scheme of abba abba cdc dcd, or abba abba cde cde; the English Sonnet, also called the Elizabethan or Shakespearean Sonnet, uses a rhyming scheme of abab cdcd efef gg. An alternative to the English Sonnet, called the Spenserian Sonnet uses the rhyming scheme abab bcbc cdcd ee.
Living Like Flowers - A traditional English sonnet. I wrote this in college.
Haikus - Haikus are short poems of Japanese origin. They should be 17 syllables, usually three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables; they should also be related to nature in one way or another for "traditional" haikus. These collections were all done in high school.
