Quinzaine Poetry
Life holds new adventures
Will I fear it
or will I grab it?
True love is wonderful
Can anyone find it?
Does it exist?
Aroma of bread baking
Will it make you fat
To eat it?
The world of computers
Is it a good thing
Or is it bad?

Post a CommentI'd never heard of a quizaine poem before this day. They are very interesting and extremely easy to do. I think I'll do a few of these poems to finish up my poetry book

I like this! I haven't written poetry lately, but I have a small collection. I'm going to have to give this a try. Very good!
