Poetry 101: The Basics of Poetic Form

The first of a series of light history and tutorials on the basic principles of traditional English poetry, by Michele Cameron Drew.

I bite my tongue so not to cause a stir.

And wait for signs to fall down from the sky,
And send me where his heart calls by and by.
