The Multiverse of Poetry

A Prompted Poem on Different Versions

they come in any form when poetry is born

there are odes you’ll find prose

some are on strict structure others have no real measure

syllables drive the rhythm of a few like the quick bits of joy that are haiku

you can also read a sonnet if that’s something that freshens your bonnet

let us not forget the limerick jestful, biting and full of kick

maybe you’d prefer the parameters of a poem in iambic pentameter

the truth is that poems can take many shapes it’s an artform that we should truly appreciate

I’m sure there are plenty I’ve forgotten, or even worse in this poem about the different versions of the poem multiverse

What better noun to utilize the poetry prompt of different versions for a diverse poetry blog like The Brain is a Noodle than poems? I had a blast writing this. If you’d like to give this a go, check out the original prompt in Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她)’s poem on tacos here:
