~Poetry Bazaar~

Welcome, one and all~

 take a font row seat

our poetry circus will begin

we have jugglers of similies

a tight rope act of sonnets

court jester'd hyperbole tunes

alliterations of crazy clowns cursing

dactyls of fluttering butterflies

hip hop be bop meter and rhyme

stanzas of personifications abound

our theme is a villanelle of understatement

our subplot a spondee of Knick Knacks

where syntax, whose words these are I think I know

quatrains and couplets together in rhythm & time,

ironic symbolism is our first act

a nature of haikus will follow

ending with the Senryu finale...

Please enjoy the show

take a load off and relax

from your point of view

Oh Frieda, this did make me smile. There seem to be many poems around about writing poetry, but they are all so different and yours is a feast for the mind. I love that it's a circus, a metaphor for all the different styles of poetry(as you mentioned) and ways of expressing feelings.
What acrobatics we perform when writing. Your poem is such a lighthearted view of the process.
Wonderfully penned!

[Frieda P]

Good way to put it wordwarrior, 'acrobatics' ha, very similar to poetry. :-) Thanks my friend.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Yay!! I love a good circus act, Friedalicious! LOL :D
There's bazaar, and then there's BAZAAR...

I think Ridonkulous should be the feature of this show! Don't you agree? LMAO! ;D

Entertaining write! ~xoxo~

[Frieda P]

Jazzed you got a kick out of it Robbie, I should have added 'coffee' will be served on the mezzanine! LOL ;-) xoxo

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Maybe I had too much caffeine! LOL :D
I'll settle down... I promise... (he he)~xoxo~

[Frieda P]

Now you're just trying to make me jealous! Lol ;-P xoxo

[Robbie~xoxo~]

I promise it's not what you think. lol

"All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus" -- Circus, Britney Spears......

This is a great write, I really enjoyed it, I wanna go to a circus I've never been to one, my gran and grandpa might take me sometime. :-) Anyhoo, another great write from you.

Kudos.

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille nooble...when I craxk that whip eh? ;-)

[MikeV]

I love this! :) I'm the ring leader :p

[Frieda P]

I thought that was top hat you were wearing ;-)

[SyberRose]

Very creative Frieda...Ill be the happy birthday magician...giving away rabbits
to people with birthdays...ha...silly me...Rose

[Frieda P]

Thanks Rose, I hardly see you with silly wabbits though!

[Baby Ricochet]

Ha! I take it I'm the crazy cursing clown.

[Frieda P]

Hahaha, if the clownshoe fits. ;-)

[Emerald Seas]

Sounds like a sit down at the cafe! Let the show begin. Great creativity in this write. You come up with something new all the time. Loved this!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Sirrah, I think there's an act where poems actually leap from a vault too LOL, sorry couldn't resist ;-)

[Emerald Seas]

Stay out of my vault! ;) I just started to figure out how to lock the damn thing

[Frieda P]

Ha I'm very good at B&E ya know :-)

[Emerald Seas]

Haha - I'm organizing a bunch for a book. So the vault actually may spring wide open! :) I am refraining from publishing the bitter and angry bits, but the rest I figure is fair game. If I keep it to myself it just fighters. Might as well throw it out to the public for the readers to garner their own interpretation and relation to the words... At least that is kinda sorta what my publishers are saying!

[Emerald Seas]

Fighters... Should be festers... Damn iPad gets an attitude once in a while ;)

[Frieda P]

Wooo 50 Shades of Sirrah...let me know when.............!

[Emerald Seas]

Haha - it's more sappy than sultry, my friend. Not sure I'll do another poetry collection after this one, but it'll depend on my inspiration and what is acting as my muse in the future ;)

[Frieda P]

With all that sex you're having now, I'm sure something will come up Lol ;-)

[Emerald Seas]

Shush woman! Lol...

[Aethereal]

You’ve presented the nature of our poetic circus quite well in this easy flowing free verse listing of most of our clown acts on center stage. I should put villanelle clown makeup on for my next performance. Next time, my tiger jumps entire … through rhyming Rings of Fire.

[Frieda P]

That's a good act to follow too, thanks Aethereal.

[Aethereal]

You're welcome!
