    Poem 6
    Write a poem with regulated syllabic stanzas: The poem should have between 10 and 24 lines - make sure that you give your stanza pattern for the poem.

    Cinquain: 6,7,8, 9,10 syllable
    Rhyme pattern: a,b,a,b,b


    Though the tip’s dipped in ink,
    The art looks like a squid sprayed
    The colors, which are out of sync:
    As if they were done by a grenade.
    Lovers of torment it would serenade.

    From abstract to absurd;
    And carried by tidal waves
    The artist uses trash to gird.
    Idiot! A man by the name, Staves,
    Shows many a plant growing out of graves.

    He had too many turns.
    Like a tornado’s winds blown
    He took without any concerns,
    Of things passed and those yet to be known;
    Of all, why so crooked a picture sewn?

    On each look, I see less…
    Can it be knowledge is rife?
    And wisdom is blamed for the mess?
    For each man’s drawn knelt before a wife…
    And he named the piece; he named the piece life.

    The 3rd stanza may need to be tweaked slightly, but the overall effect is enchanting! Great writing!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
