Well, here are four more poems to go with the prompts #24-27.
#24. KIBBLE is a quatrain (4 lines per stanza) with a rhyme scheme: ABAB/CDCD (Stanza 4 is what is called “approximate rhyme.”)
"Kibbler"
I'm a fan of chopping veggies,
But I like to do it by hand,
And we're not talking some wedgies,
Or even cubed or a small strand.
And since a “kibble’s a pellet . . .
The size of a coarsely ground grain;"
And I cut them tinier yet,
It’s as “kibbler” I've gained fame!

#25. "Wool Socks"
(One of the forms of the cinquain: #s of syllables=2,4,6,8,2)
Wool socks!
Yes they are warm
But they itch so badly!
So glad for other options to –
Wool socks!

#26. "Oil Change" - This next poem I used a type new to me called the Sedoka.
The Sedoka is an unrhymed poem made up of two three-line katauta with the following syllable counts:5/7/7, 5/7/7. A Sedoka, pair of katauta as a single poem, may address the same subject from differing perspectives.
"Oil Changes"
I formerly used
Only vegetable oil,
But then olive oil I met.
My car needs new oil,
It’s important to change it.
So it's off for an oil change!
