Uno, Dous...

~Poem Uno~

I love to ride my bicycle

It is so very very fun

I love to ride it in the sun

But I never would ever want it away

(I started the first three lines in a trochaic meter, and ended it in a anapestic meter. I did this, because I wanted to add a certain Shel Silverstein-esque feel to the poem; and I'm hoping I succeeded in that.)

~Poem Dos~

I have never been

So close to the edge of it

So close to falling

Falling farther and farther

Into a new love

(I started it out as a normal Tanka poem, but then ended it with 5 syllables, as if it isn't a Tanka, but a Haiku sandwich! I did this, because I love the length of Tanka poems, and love the patterns of Haikus, so why not combine the two?)
