April is National Poetry Month

The 5 W’s Form

Every year I meet up with my friends for National Poetry Month on our private Facebook Group. The moderator posts the form of the day, and our creativity takes over after that.

Today we’re using the 5 W’s form. That is, each line of the poem describes, Who, What, Where, When, and Why. That’s it. No matching of syllable counts, no rhyming. So here is one of my poems from today. To see more, go to Stephanie’s Website.

The Toad

Eating bugs with a quick flick of his tongue

In my back yard

In the sunny afternoon

To keep nature in balance as he eats his lunch
