…to poets
oft’ melancholy,
we’re an oddity at best
seeing things others don’t see,
crazy, some might jest
how dull life would be without poets!

For this year’s final NaPoWriMo 2019 Prompt #30: try your hand at a minimalist poem, I am using a micropoetry / short form I created a few months ago that I call the Horatiodet, inspired by the Horatio-styled Ode. My micro-version is 5 lines in all with a syllable count of 5-7-7-5-9 and a rhyme scheme of ababb.
like mercury colliding...

Kat too true. Without poets, humankind would be in a paper bag with only a small hole cut in it.

The other months of the year I like to do daily micropoetry. I loved the idea of an ode, but I generally don’t have the time or energy to devote to longer forms on a daily basis.

As much as I can enjoy long poems , too many doses of ‘Rabbi Ben Ezra’, ‘Don Juan’ etc would so get me plum nuts

That is another advantage, the avenue for expression keeps the mind from cluttering
