This week at the #PoetryCafe we’re looking at different forms of poetry. What form do you like reading/writing the most and why?

For the writers, have you ever mixed and matched forms? Did it work? How did you feel about the process? Would you do it again?

For the readers, how much does form influence your enjoyment of a poetry? Do you mind when a poet you enjoy reading changes forms?

#Haikus are simply any phrase of poetry, rhyming or not, which has exactly 17 syllables.

They don't have to be deep or philosophical or even serious. #Poetry can be fun. My favorite #haiku writer is #TomWilson (aka "Biff" in the #BackToTheFuture franchise). He has such humorous gems as:

"Life matches on, faster and faster,
But the fact is you can't rush toast."

"Danny Bonaduce
prob'ly wouldn't make a good babysitter."

" #FredFlintstone ordered ribs every week
He had to know they'd tip his car."

More of his #humor in the video link.
