Snafu Senryu
A poem about a hard lesson learned
The broken heel served
as a simple reminder
It's time to wear flats

A French Meal
The virelai is a French poetic form with alternating rhymes and line lengths. Here are basic guidelines: + nine lines per stanza, + lines one, two, four, five, seven, and eight have five syllables + lines three, six, and nine have two syllables + the five-syllable lines rhyme with each other and the two-syllable lines rhyme with each other to make the following rhyme pattern: aabaabaab + the end rhyme for the short lines continues on in the following stanza + the final stanza’s short-line end rhyme should be the same as the long-line end rhyme in the opening stanza (to complete the end-rhyme circle) Note on stanzas: This form can contain as few as two stanzas to infinity (if you could write that many).

Ten Lessons I Learned From My Dog
I don't get people who don't get dogs. I don't like all dogs, just like I don't like all people. They have distinct personalities, and some are infinitely more likeable than others. Some are probably basically decent, but seem to have been poorly raised. But on the whole, I'm a dog person, and I'm going to spell it out to you exactly why.
