Contradiction…A Queron

I like blue eyes

(‘though I have brown.)

I like storm skies.

I’m verb, not noun.

I improvise.

I won’t back down

and that’s what’s what …

I wear a crown

of if and but.

It’s no disguise.

Am I a nut?

Then, what’s the norm?

Deep in my gut?

It’s “Don’t conform.”

(Yeah…got that down.)

I’m plexiform*…

but that’s my norm.

Notes:  One of the people I've 'met' at Poetic Asides is a talented poet named Daniel Ari. He invented a new poetic form called Queron.  It's kind of complicated, but fun and a worthwhile challenge, nonetheless.  Above these notes is my first attempt at trying the form, and while it's normally written in longer syllabic lines than what I did (4 syllables per line) it is a flexible enough form to allow for the variations.  

I encourage you to check it out and give Queron a shot.  You may find yourself surprised at the results - in a really good way.

* Plexiform, according to the 1913 Webster's Dictionary, means networked or complicated .
