Superbity Poem by Reason A. Poteet
Superbity
Sicilian quintain ABABA
Subtitled: The Bully
'Who, What, When, Where, and Why'
Reflect on bullies - quarrelsome dictators.
The elbows shove, intimidating others
at ev'ry chance, before, right now or later.
In school, at work or anyplace he druthers,
the bully has to prove himself, the greater.

i'm a fairly unstructured poet, ..... i think. so i guess i'll not try one of these, especially if i have to pay attention to word gender! i have written and enjoyed writing some limericks, but i usually am somewhat 'free' with my poetry except that i almost always use four-line stanzas and almost always use extensive rhyming. thanks for sharing. superbity? hmm? bri :)
