This is something I want everyone to try :)
Definition Poetry.
Its simple, fun and not too boring :P
There are only a few rules:
Minimum of 8 lines. 
Every odd numbered line starts with "_____(your topic) is or was"
Every second line states"_____(whatever your topic is) is not"
I have the right to call it off whenever I  so choose.
 
Heres a few examples:
 
This Black Pen
This black pen was made for marking school papers and tests.
This black pen was not made for lunchtime spitball shooting.
 This black is used by a teacher with all their power and glory.
This black pen is not for shooting up or snorting cocaine.
This black pen is used by everyday students to do their work and succeed.
This black pen isn't a murder weapon.
This black pen is a sign of dignity and strength.
 
That poem is an edited version of my friends. When I get the original I willl post it as it's much better.
 
Rider Pride
 
Saskatchewan is the sound  of people screaming, "GO RIDERS!!" at a Grey Cup game.
Saskatchewan is not the blue and gold of our rivals.
Saskatchewan is the wind, gras.s, wheat and canola of Canada.
Saskatchewan is not the bumpy mountains of Alberta.
Saskatchewan is the freezing winters and blazing dry summers.
Saskatchewan isn't celebrities and rock and roll.
Saskatchewan is gophers, just ask our mascot.
Saskatchewan isn't "Tiger Cats" or "Lions"
Sakatchewan is the pink sky of morning, blue of afternoon and indigo of night.
Saskatchewan isn't like anywhere else.
Saskatchewan is home. It can't be anything else to me.
 
That one ^^ I wrote and revised as it was a failure before
 
TRY IT!
 
It's kind of challenging. And fun.
 
I do live in Saskatchewan, Canada btw. If there's anything you dont understand rmail me kay?
 
I am going to give a prize to the best one entered. :)

sucks, i know, but i can do better, this was like a 5 minute version

This here person was made for laughing loudly
This here person was not made for back-stabbing tattles.
 This here person is used to be good friends proudly.
This here person is not fighting your battles.
This here person is used by all to see who they will be.
This here person isn't who you think.
This here person is me.

 




I have the madness of the sun, but you know that already, don't you? Call me Cas, not Casa or Casanev. Thanks!

Well, here's something that I came up with on a whim.

Instruments

**I’m not sure it follows the rules completely O.O And it can be cheesy in parts. Ack, rhyme has never been my strong point. :3 I’ll have to edit it later.

The piano is made for creating music

Its ivory keys not meant to remain un-played

The piano is something important and beautiful

It’s not meant to be disregarded and glory never displayed 

 

The violin is made for creating music

Its strings not to be maimed or broken

The violin is the perfect picture of grace

Its slender body not destroyed with its beauty unspoken 

 

The trumpet is made for creating music

Its sleek, shiny metal not to remain unpolished

The trumpet is meant as a symbol of joy

Its shining music not to be demolished 

 

The flute is made for creating music

Its magnificence never to be abused

The flute’s music is soft, light, and happy

It’s not supposed to go un-used 

 

Music is made to create happiness

Its instruments not meant to go un-played

Music is describing things words can’t

It should never not be enjoyed from day to day
