Offhand, I'd Say I'm More of a Sestina

[tmcg]

Gakked from eeknight:

I am the sonnet, never quickly thrilled; Not prone to overstated gushing praise Nor yet to seething rants and anger, filled With overstretched opinions to rephrase; But on the other hand, not fond of fools, And thus, not fond of people, on the whole; And holding to the sound and useful rules, Not those that seek unjustified control. I'm balanced, measured, sensible (at least, I think I am, and usually I'm right); And when more ostentatious types have ceased, I'm still around, and doing, still, all right. In short, I'm calm and rational and stable - Or, well, I am, as much as I am able. What Poetry Form Are You?

It also tells me that if I were not a sonnet I would be:

Short, terse, unfriendly, Yet sometimes quite emotive; I am the Haiku.

I was thinking I was more of a nursery rhyme. If not a copybook heading.

I like both thoughts, but it would be charming to be a nursery rhyme. :)
