These are my first passes at the poem style I'm trying to develop, or at least get a feel for in my mind;



The basic idea of the style is as follows.
1. No sentence structure, each word should communicate a concept or thought relating to that lines idea. No word should require any other in that line however each line should follow a theme, the final word can be used as a counterpoint or crux of that line.
2. Preferably, just to be sadistic, each pair of rows should rhyme
3. The lines should have a rhythm, so you can speak them out in a way that makes them flow... well I know what I mean, but can't explain it.

I've no idea if anyone has done anything like this before, more than likely, if not I cheerfully dub these 'abstractive poems'.

These are taken from various suggestions.... Thanks! Poems are listed in order of the suggestions...
