Seven

Seven syllables per line,
not essential that they rhyme,
and seven lines to finish,
your chances won’t diminish.

Just keep counting that’s the way,
so I’ll be the last to say,
versifying’s done today.



Line count: 7

Table

Picasso and Braque
Cubists extraordinaire
Paint celebration
Geometric profusion
Rectangles and squares
Circles and frosting ovate.

The flat board of delight
Cupcakes of pastel
Triangles flagging
Flowers of still life
Refreshing the lemons
Presenting the cubes.



Line count: 12
Free verse
For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 47
