Meter in Poetry and Verse

Howl Immatation

I see the greatest mind of my generation fall into societies cradle...

I see destruction, ignorance, narcism, hubris, filth, and cruelty...

Men and women who fight just to live, live to fight and enjoy their pain and suffering...

Innocents being tortured unmercifully...

drunks, druggies, lazy selfish human beings that just get through life instead of living, and yet living the life they think is great and fantastic until they hit rock bottom and finally realize what they have done to themselves and others around them...

I see hope, truth, loyalty, faith, grace, purity, and purpose...

Men and women fighting for our future...

Pure souls giving hope to those of us that are willing to help ourselves and others...

Thinkers, hard workers, and lovers of this world and those in it, trying to save this planet that we live on and every living soul and creature on it...

I see both good and bad in this world, societies political leaders are a joke, controlling us and showing us who we should be and what we should think is good for us. We were not meant to be manipulated and yet we allow ourselves to be so easily. It's a rarity now that you find someone fighting, alone, but with great heart. I hope to one day see this as less of a rarity and more of a common occurrence. This planet is dying along with us. We're killing ourselves but there is hope...

Thirteen ways of looking at Hot Cheetos

I

Among multiple bags of chips
The bag that caught my eye
Was the Hot Cheetos bag

II

I was filled with joy,
Like a kid
In hopes of going to Disney Land

III

The Hot Cheetos called to me
It sounded like the rest

IV

A boy and a girl
Are one
A boy and a girl and a bag of hot Cheetos
Are one

V

I do not know how to choose
The morsel within reach
Or the money in my pocket
The Hot Cheetos calling
Or whatever

VI

I walk away
With my mouth watering
At the thought
Of those delicious
Hot Cheetos

Ode to the banana

I write an ode to you
A sweet yellow fruit
That in love to chew,
Swallow and digest

An ode to your taste
and health benefits
For you shall not go to waste
Not in my home

Oh! An ode to your peel
That keeps you safe
As if to seal
Your goodness from me

And finally and ode
To buying you from the store
Or picking you fresh off a tree
And bringing you to my humble abode
And eating you
For happy little me

Litany Imitation

You are the peanut butter and the jelly,
the cheese and the macaroni.
You are the milk to my chocolate chip cookie
and the water to quench my thirst.
You are the music to my ears,
and the comfort of a blanket.

However, you are not the stars in the night sky
Shadow in the ally,
or children playing in the streets.
And you are certainly not the bright colors of fall.
There is just no way that you are the bright colors of fall.

It is possible that you are smell of rain on the pavement,
maybe even the smile on a baby's face,
but you are not even close
to being the little hand on the grandfather clock.

And a quick look in the mirror will show
that you are neither the puppy
nor kitten at play.

It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am the newborn fawn in the meadow.

I also happen to be the blue in the sky,
Rainbow after it rains
and the fruit picked fresh in the morning.

I am also the birds in the sky
and the snails on the ground.
But don't worry, I'm not the peanut butter and the jelly.
You are still the peanut butter and the jelly.
You will always be the peanut butter and the jelly,
not to mention the cheese and--somehow--the macaroni.
