Thanks to Freeda forcing me to learn new forms 
Here is a poem about Lord David Prosser’s hilarious book using the Jaleen pattern.
My Barsetshire Diary
rib tickling tale
is never stale
an adventure each day
in need of inquiry
together friends
round many bends
and eat up at the buffet.

I love it, Catherine! Bravo! I think you will find this form exciting. A good pattern to use for children’s poetry, I would say. Your rhymes sound wonderful!
Oh thank you, Freeda. I feel like I’ve rushed a lot of these. Now I’ve broken the ice trying new forms I’ll do second drafts etc. and try other topics using the same forms. I used to hate forms, you’ve helped me convert :0) Thank you!
You’re most welcome. You have also helped me get started in the blogging world. You and Inger Wilkerson were some of my first commenters and both encouraging to me. Inger’s site is Art of Natural Living. (I don’t yet know how to highlight to link to other sites.)
Thanks I’ll go follow her too. Hover over url press copy then hover where you want link. I’ve just learnt that on my phone
You’re most welcome. You have helped me also to get acquainted with the blogging world. You and Inger Wilkerson were among my first encouraging commenters.
I love this!! I really should stretch myself more often and try my hand at this. Lovely job!
Thanks, Sheri! Do put it on your blog when you have a go
Thank you sweet Catherine. I’ve never heard of the Jaleen Pattern but I appreciate anything that helps people see the book. Huge Hugs xxxx
It deserves exposure, David. It’s full of your personality :0)
Thank you poetry elves.
I have pasted the form into simple text and will get on the stair climber soon.

OOOOH… I LIKE it!
Well done!
Thanks Susanna
I love learning about new poem forms from you. I’ve never heard of most of them but then again, I don’t know much about poetry (except, of course, how much I like yours!).
Oh you are too kind, Mia. I learn all these forms from Freeda and Jeanne :0)
