A bit amatuerish but still fun - a self referential poem i.e. a poem about Itself
Itself:
This poem is going to be completely about itself,
Not about an imaginary warrior, dwarf or elf.
Neither will it be about some true event, something real,
No, this poem will be completely self referential.
The idea for this poem struck me while in a cab,
And it blew my mind! I thought how completely fab.
I hurried back home to jot it down,
So then i could show it of to the whole bloody town!
The number of stanzas in this poem is five,
And I’m actually composing them while typing, completely live.
The current verse was the hardest to write,
I couldn’t decide on the number of stanzas, try as i might.
The rhyming scheme throughout is a-a-b-b,
I’m proving just that in this stanza you see.
In groups of two, the sentences end with the same sound,
And i’m repeating that feat this time around.
Apart from being a nifty little trick,
This piece will surely impress any literary critic.
But i’d like to share a secret with all you guys,
It’s not that hard if really one tries.
