DESCRIPTION This book is about the traditional forms of poetry. Some poems have the form of a sonnet, a villanelle, a pantoum, a haiku, or a sestina; others are written in the form of an ode, or a quatrain, and the rest are free verses or narrative poems. For the topics of the poems, some are based on facts, others are just imaginations. There are many different purposes when one gets involved in the creation of his or her art. To me, I like to write for the humanity effect as well as for the sake of the art itself; that is why the concentration of this book is the forms of poetry. I believe that the reasons why poetry is different from prose are because of its special features such as rhymes, rhythm, meter and forms. When I was a young kid in public schools, I used to read and admire people who wrote poems in traditional forms with melodious tunes and sounds of rhymes that caused me to have great stirrings of emotion, and so, those poems always lasted a very long time in my mind. Now, I am in the same inspiring situation that those poets had on me decades ago, and I hope that the poems in this book can do the same things to my readers as other great poems have done to me.
