Trying to get away from straight free verse to incorporate some structure into my poetry, I’m experimenting with acrostic, haiku, and etheree. Definitions of these terms can be found at one of my favorite online resources, Shadow Poetry.

Character

Courageous
Honorable
Authentic
Rare
Accountable
Conscientious
Trustworthy
Earnest
Recommendable

Overscheduled

Multiple demands
Much to do, so little time
Passes in a blur

Center

Point
In the
Middle of,
Equidistant
From every point on
The circumference or
Surface of a circle or
Sphere; or the primary site where
An activity or a business
Originated or is headquartered.
