A Short Poem and a Nonet





A Thought

When choosing someone to despise,
People often choose the wise,
for there is no one quite as tart
As a person, who is smart.


A Nonnet

A nonnet is an interesting poem

Some say it's similar to a sonnet

But it's not one; it has more room to roam

And that is why it is called a nonnet.

A sonnet is strict, it has fourteen lines

It also has a couplet at the end

There are many more distinguishing signs

That makes it hard; a nonnet is your friend.

In a nonnet there can be no real rules

A nonnet doesn't have to make any sense

One day they just might teach nonnets at school

Because writing sonnets makes me feel tense.

When you write nonnets you feel like a kid

I'd never write sonnets, but I just did.

The Feet Song


I’m kind of jealous of my feet

As their love is so sweet

They really are the perfect pair

When their together people stare

I’m kind of jealous of my feet

Because I know I’ll never be that complete

I’m afraid that it’s hard to find

Someone who is two of a kind

I’m also jealous of my ears

They stay alert when I’m in tears

They listen, even though they are on opposite sides

They still work together in the highest tides

I might be jealous of my eyes

They go good together, it’s no surprise.

They blink away the bad days

They see every color, orange and gray

When I’m feeling blue

I wish people came in groups of two

If we were born, packaged together it would be neat

We’d always be together just like my feet.
