Example Poem
Write a Butterfly
Quintet
To write a Butterfly
Quintet my pet
you place complex
content in stanza one.
There's room
internally to romp with rhyme
or sprinkle sparks
of alliteration.
The same thing goes,
by jive in stanza five.
In middle stanzas do
your play.
These step more
quickly, I believe;
less time to ponder,
think or grieve.
First line next
stanza have you say!
Expound your thesis
here-- it's quite okay.
Exclaim your point
right now.
Make emphasis some how.
The repeated words
for that deed are okay.
Now butterfly, just
flutter by.
Just play and give
the air some shoves--
enjoyed wherever
there are loves.
You light their
hearts up butterfly.
Here the conclusion
you'd most likely set,
with evidence
supporting, now begun.
If playful theme
there's still a lot of time
To zig and zag, and
twist the plot for fun.
Your muse can use
this form to come alive.
