My example poem:
My Doorbell Barks (Musette)
Now hark!
The doorbell rings,
they bark.
Without
the bell the dogs
still shout.
Oh hell,
Why’d I install
the bell?

Example Poem
 
Natural Transformation
 
A rose within my garden proudly grows
and shows it’s colors to all flying friends.
it sends it’s scents to bees and birds and so
attends to those whose ends
it serves while it preserves
with verve the scents its visitors like best
expressed thru pollination’s frequent swerve.
Attest now to progressed
parade of bright new shades
as trades made randomly give us a new
delight of multicolor serenades
It’s quite a pleasant gift for us to view.
