New forms of Poetry

Haiku originally had 5,7,5 syllables.

I decided to invent a new poetry form called the Manfred, after Manfred Man's famous hit 54321.

Here are three examples.

A hungry Manfred

Seeking a good feed

Steak pie and chips

Carrot cake

Ice cream

Fudge

A sexy Manfred

Asking for a shag

Adultery?

Fornicate?

Tupping?

Bonk?

An agile Manfred or Lift off

Challenge gravity

Moderate hop

Running jump

Pole vault

Leap

A second new type of poetry, 'The Boaster'

Boaster 1

Too sexy for my car

More handsome than Beckham

I buy champagne at the bar.

Just bought a mansion in Peckham

Boaster 2

I'm so rich

I drive a Rolls-Royce

I sing like Pavarotti

I've an exquisite voice.

Boaster 3

I'm a great writer

Books, poems and blogs

An arrogant blighter

A prince among frogs.
