LexPoMo 2025
with appreciation to Rodgers and Hammerstein
June is bustin’ out all over!
All over with verses that delight,
Ballads spring forth fresh from lovers
As a pushy pantoum hovers
And a villanelle comes creepin’ in the night.
Because it’s June!
June — June — June —
Just because it’s June!
June is bustin’ out all over!
All over with sonnets, odes, haiku
Poets wrestle rhyming quatrains
Play with couplets, cantos, refrains
And a deadpan posts a witty clerihew.
Because it’s June!
June — June — June —
Just because it’s June!
June is bustin’ out all over!
All over with forms narrative and lyric and concrete
Bards take care to count the iambs
Employ subtle metaphors and enjambs
And fill the cloud with intense poetic heat.
Because it’s June!
June — June — June —
Because LexPoMo blooms in June!
