Growing

Fall down

consider tears--

crawl to where grandpa sits

grab onto grandpa's leg

grin like a fox--

stand up

Whyquain

A form invented on AllPoetry.com by Gloria Kim, aka Porphery. 

It is a single verse of five iambic tetrameter lines in monorhyme

which answers some asked or un-asked question.

Example Poem:

Why Do Cats Purr

While dogs can bark and growl and grrrr

and guard, and stealthy thieves deter,

which earned their place with men for sure,

The cats had only pretty fur,

so asked if God would add a purr.
