Home Town NPM#2
My home town is very small
less than a grand of us
I know them allA grocery, a bank
two pharmacies and
three places where you can fill up your tankfour places to eat
several antiques
a grammar school that is pretty darn neatbut the park is the best
for fun or for rest
a cave and a spring we surely are blessed
Nash and Nova in the park yesterday
eating Ice Cream...it was such a lovely day!I didn't have much time to study the types of poetry today, but I think this may be Free Verse:
A Free Verse Poem does not follow any rules. Their creation is completely in the hands of the author. Rhyming, syllable count, punctuation, number of lines, number of stanzas, and line formation can be done however the author wants in order to convey the idea. There is no right or wrong way to create a Free Verse poem.
whew
now I'm off to ride the church bus and pick up little children
Jesus loves them all and so do I
but I'd like to snatch the heads off
some of the grown-ups
but I won'tILYM

All of my poems are free verse, with alluded structure.
I do get a sense of what life is like in your home town from this poem, so I think it is a successful piece!
it sounds like a wonderful home town
The little towns keem a human size and are the best to live . Principally when Nash and Nova, are there
Is not it, Marsha ?

please read: the little towns keep a human size....
For free verse, you can rhyme a poem just nifty, me thinks. I love your description of your lovely hometown dear heart.

I loved reading this. My home town was bigger, but I love my home town.
I liked reading a bit about your hometown. I also loved the later poem about the church children and adults, working with children myself, i have known similar feelings to those you express.
You wrote rhyming tercets (3 line stanzas)! Lovely!!
Four places to eat? Not so small.
This is a good one love the rhymes! Plus it flows nice.
Lovely little home town!
I miss being here too, but your poem is lovely. I'm reading tonight because of YOU!
I really like your poem, and your town sounds delightful! Nash has such a wonderful smile!
A cave AND a spring? Your town has it all!
I know what you mean about the adults. Sometimes I look at a sweet, innocent little child and I look at that child's parents and feel a sense of impending doom for the poor child. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure there's a rule or a commandment or something about not snatching off people's heads.
actually the spring flows out of the cave....best water in the world! and yes, the preacher has warned me several times!
Your poem was fun to read outloud!
Sounds like a wonderful hometown!
HUGS!!!
