I've got a poem in my pocket  
neither a limerick nor Nantucket  
it's not a haiku or a sonnet  
no children will be taught upon it  
no triolet or villanelle  
(there's no refrain, that's how you tell)  
It's not an ode or a cinquain  
I haven't written it for gain  
and most of all, it's not free verse  
though if done well, I'm not averse
