Acrostic

Any poem whose lines' first letters vertically form either the alphabet, the poet's or dedicatee's name, a concept word (which can look hokey, but not always), or even entire sentences, if the poem has length. These go back to the Babylonians, but many poets, even modern ones, have fooled around with them. (Anne Sexton did, for instance.)

I - Influencing the minds of
N - New generation of people
D - Destined to lead the world
I - into a new world
A - And
N - Negotiate life’s
E - Eternal puzzle and twists
S - Satisfying the quest for
T - Truth

Love

Living life together with
Only one person, and
Value
Every single moment of it

Abominated gravy.
He lived in the odium
Of having discovered sodium.

this is about Kayleigh
she went to bailey.
she likes to hide things,

senryu

If you can count syllables, you can write a senryu [Sen-REOO]. It doesn't rhyme, and it doesn't need a title. Senryu is a Japanese form of poetry similar to the haiku, since it is made up of only three lines with the same syllable pattern of 5-7-5. It is the subject matter that makes a senryu different. While a haiku deals with nature and seasons, a senryu dwells on people matters; it can even be funny!
2 First let's look at how a senryu breaks down into a total of seventeen syllables.



I doze on the couch. 5 -I/doze/on/the/couch.
The cat moves in, making a 7 -The/cat/moves/in/ma/king/a
Bed of my stomach. 5 -Bed/of/my/sto/mach.


gone

can't feel anything
but the coldness in my heart
because you're gone now

Tritina

Being modeled from the Sestina, there is no rhyme scheme, instead it comprises of three stanzas using the same three words in a Sestina like pattern, and a final line which uses the three words in the starting sequence:

A.. B.. C...
C.. A.. B...
B.. C.. A...
A,B,C...
The meter is not specified but is usualy tetrameter or pentameter.

Peaceful and quiet is this evening.
Like a thousand diamonds, the many stars
glitter in the velvet sky, and the fragrance of jasmine-

the sweet, heavenly fragrance of jasmine-
perfumes the warm air of this June evening.
The smiling moon glows among the winking stars.

And as I lie here tonight beneath the stars,
breathing in the delicious essence of jasmine,
I revel in the beauty of this evening,

this perfect evening, with the sparkling stars and the moon's smile, white as a jasmine blossom.

Shining moon

As I lay they’re crying
I see the moon shining
Though the puddle of tears

Thinking I shouldn’t be here with these tears
There is nothing left for crying
there is nothing shining

nothing out there shining
it's way for me anymore. let the tears
start coming. let me start crying

i want to stop crying, but tears keep making this puddle that lets me see the moon shining.

Hate

I hate that I love him so much,
but he hates me now.
I love how my friend is a back stabbing bitch,
and she does too.
I hate loving him,
and I hate seeing her with him.
