That's ridiculous about the pants. I'm still lucky to find something now and then. Shoes I usually order them online, because at least they have my size.

I dare you to use a poetic structure from this list other than freestyle. Freestyle is fun, but I want to see what else you can do. It doesn't have to rhyme, but it has to follow the rules of whatever form you choose. I'm excited to see what you write!

I wrote a poem using the format “The Fib” basing syllables on the Fibonacci Sequence. It is entitled:
Wonder
Birds Fly Out the Bright green grass I watch in wonder As they soar through the clear blue sky Colourful creatures spiralling towards the heavens In quick flashes of feathers and glimmers of shimmering white sunlight silhouetting them

Oh ho ho, I have three nonce forms I frequently use, @lehmanf. So here we go, it's breakdown time.
Wave Poem The first nonce form I made is something I call the Wave Poem. Rather than focus on syllable count, all three forms focus on line count. For the Wave Poem, you start with a one-line stanza, also known as a monostich, and then steadily add one more line until you reach the poem's middle. After you reach the centre, you remove one line per stanza until you're back down to a monostich. For example:
Perhaps this is enough.
I am here, breathing this crips air, feeling the rain patter against my cheeks.
What else could I need in life, but existence itself? Doesn't everything else fall into place?
Or am I foolish to think so? Is life another weapon against my flesh?
Diminuendo Poem This poem is the exact opposite of a Crescendo Poem. In this form, you start with any number of lines. In the example below, I'll start with a tercet, but in my NaPo Diminuendo, I started with thirteen lines.
I cannot believe you anymore. You have tarnished my faith to dust, melted my gold to bronze.
Why should I trust you any longer? What have you done to deserve it?

Sure! I dare you, @lehmanf, to write a poem using one of my nonce forms. Let's make them a trend. Truth or dare, @MailicedeNamedy?

Oh, wait I already did before even reading this:. It’s a crescendo called:
Don’t Die On Me
This colder season The Sun’s still shining in the corners Every gleam still makes me smile Amazed by the eternal flame
Heart pounding like a stone thrown on the ground This rainy season The world’s still a misty haze Of wet curtains and sheets Banging on the old iron roof
This snowy season I cry under the midnight sky Freezing as I’m slowly blanketed in snowflakes That shimmer icily on my skin Specks of ice watering down my eyelashes As I stare at the moonlit sky
Scream because it hurts Because it always does Boil your skin till you can feel the burn again Till the numbness erodes Like a mountain weathers over time Body falling off its side As the light reappears in your eyes
