Thank you. For some reason, I just need to write poetry. Sometimes I get these little enthusiasms.

Writing poetry is one of the best ways to express ourselves. I find it enjoyable and therapeutic. I just love to word craft. I enjoy reading your poetry. I’m trying to blog more and need to get back into my poetry as I’ve been so busy with my teaching job. Please keep sharing with us. Take care! 🥰

The first stanza you use each one of theend words being a prescribed order in the next stanzas.

The last Quincet. The last four lines you use those N words in a specific order in the lines. I always have to look up the actual form every time I do it because it’s complicated in word order and structure.

But that’s about it

Also, it’s an Italian poem structure. The best one I ever read was by Elizabeth Bishop.
