This is a butterfly cinquain, well two from this prompt by Brian Stark in The Facebook Poetry Society

β€œIs This Poetry?”

People have criticised my work for being lazy and rubbish, calling it constructive criticism, but I look at them and take notice if there is actual constructive criticism rather than denigration and insults.

This Poetry?

It Does Not Rhyme Does It?

Or Have A Definite Rhythm

You See?

Look Again, Is This Poetry?

I Really Think It Is.

So Will You Do?

A Word

Can Make A Tale

It Can Be Poetry

It Has No Need Of Form or Rhyme

Stand Back

Let Poetry Reveal Itself

It Will Burst Into Life

And Shine Forth

It’s Here

    Another great poem, Mike! Anyone that thinks all poetry needs to rhyme, hasn't studied much poetry
