    A Kiss

     Poem 2:
    Write a poem of 15 to 18 lines using tercets (3 line stanzas). Make use of a refrain within the poem. Realize when you construct the refrain that it will be used within the three parts of the poem: opening, turning point and closure. So be aware that the refrain has to be constructed in a manner that will offer intent within all three literary parts of the poem. Understand also that a refrain doesn't have to be on every stanza or evenly spaced within the poem.


    They call it a kiss
    A butterfly’s touch
    The gentlest rest

    They call it a kiss
    A summertime breeze
    The warmest caress

    They call it a kiss
    A drizzling rain
    The heavenly dress

    They call it a kiss
    A sweltering sun
    The desire for less

    They call it a kiss
    A bee's painful sting
    The soul of true stress

    They call it a kiss
    Whatever it is
    They call it a kiss

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
