A New Poem

I met him today . . .
a new poem ...
his rhyme has yet to be written

will he be a haiku - poetic but short lived?
will he be a limerick - witty and silly?
will he he be a free verse - unrestrained by rules?
will he be a love sonnet - structured yet romantic?
will he be blank verse - unobtrusive and ordinary?
will he be a ballad - a story to be told?

or perhaps he will remain unwritten . . .
no stanzas of substance on which to reflect
no rhyme, no rhythm, or meter
