I love writing. I imagine you do, too, or you wouldn’t be on WordPress. Oh, maybe you don’t think you’re a writer, but you are entertained and informed by good writing, and so you are an avid reader. Whichever the case, you know writing and reading are important components of learning. Folks who only get their news from TV or the spoken word miss a lot!

As a writer, I enjoy learning new skills, new techniques, new styles. I love poetry and I enjoy learning new poetry forms. Today I discovered http://www.poetcollective.org   As I was looking to learn more about Joseph’s Star Poem, the site introduced me to Punnett, a nine line poem. I’ll try it tomorrow. But for today, here is the Joseph’s Star, a 7 line poem with the word count of 1/3/5/7/7/5/3.  Try it! It’s fun!

Write

Pen your love

To all your friends

Write only encouragement

Try to be inspiring

Dwell on things happy

But do write

If you try this Joseph’s Star poetry form, post one for me in the comments section, would you? I’d love to see your rendition.
