The Jester

A Chofu

  

In the jester’s court

They all

Laugh on at his performance.

Amusing he is

But blind

To the fact he’s the jester.

Author's Note

A chofu is a style started here long ago by Steven Stiley... it faded off but thought it would be fun to do it again... it has six lines with a 5-2-7-5-2-7 syllable count.

Hey, hey, Mr. Cowboy. This is educational for me. Thanks to you. I will try to make this one since I'm making different kinds/forms of poetry.
This is great. Kudos!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much… another writer on here created the form and we got Charles to put it in the list of type of writing when you go to post something. It has 6 lines with a 5-2-7-5-2-7 syllable count.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Okay...but maybe next time. I'll just copy your note as my basis. Thank you so much for that.
And you're welcome, too.
