Today we're doing nonets. For how to do one, go here. My poem is below.
Golden pancakes round and so fragrant
Tempting me into the kitchen
Dressed in liquid golden sun
Arrayed like lily pads
You lie there sweetly
Come hithering
Hello chub
Hungry
Eat

Wind whistles
Clanging through my bells
Trees whipping
Scuds the clouds
Scattering orange blossoms
Breeze--not seen but here

If you want to know what a Shadorama poem is, go here. Otherwise, the above.
REGRET
Nascent in youth and conqueror of age
Insidiously draining
Slicing like a stiletto in the night, holding sleep hostage
Had only hindsight been foresight.

DISH
Useful and common
Steaming gently
Like a volcano's caldera
If only the soup you held wasn't split pea

Today we're doing Tricube poems. If you're as snowed about them as I am, go here. If you just want to read mine, stay here...;)
Eire green
Fills my soul
I live there

| Hiking home to Killarney from Muckross Abbey in the rain |
In the air
Music lives
Feeds my love
Give my heart
To that place
sláinte mhaith
(Means to your health.)

We're doing Pensee Poems today. If you want to know what those are, go here. If you think you'll just wing it, here's mine plus another:
Stuffed Brain
Words, images
Crowd my head so tightly they
Must now decide; arms up or down?
Japanese train stuffer

Words and images
Crowding my head,
Crushing toes
Elbows to ribs
Pushing,
Shoving to be OUT
Baby ideas screaming
They require
A Japanese train stuffer
To decide whether arms go
Up or down?

Pronking through the monsoon weeds
You chase th’ elusive bunny rabbit
When you get up near its tail
You hope to reach out jaws and grab it.
Clenching teeth on empty air
Silly puff ball zags and zigs
You forge ahead two feet from ground
But through the fence it gladly jigs
Maybe someday soon you'll catch
That jiggy bunny in your jaws
But somehow you are more inclined
To hug and lick what's in your paws.

DOG BALL
Little dog you drop your ball
Wanting me to give my all
Catching it you take the fall
Why won't you drop it at my feet(h)
Instead I pull it from your teeth
Goop's over, sideways, and beneath
Drop that ball! I want to say
We can have such lovely play
We'll be like this all blasted day
The dog just gives his child-like smile
And I can't withstand ev'ry wile
I'd throw for him a good long while
