Today's Prompt is BOOK OF LOVE

Today is Chapter four in the book of love.
Here is how it goes...

Chapters                         Forms of poetry
1) Parents                     1) Tanka
2) Siblings                    2) 15 words or less
3) Spouse                     3) Crapsey Cinquain
4) Children                    4) Acrostic
5) Friends                     5) Flash 55
6) Pets                          6) English Sonnet
7) Self                           7) Free Verse

The rules are ...
Once you use a form you can not use it again, we are looking to have all seven forms used in the book.
Once you use a chapter you can not use it again, all the chapters must be used.
You may use any form with any chapter as long as you do not repeat them.
Bandit and I are doing ours in the order given for both the chapters and the form.
So our book of love looks like this

           Chapters                        
1) Parents   A Tanka poem
2) Siblings  15 words or less
3) Spouse   A Crapsey Cinquain
4) Children   An Acrostic Poem
5) Friends  in a Flash 55
6) Pets   An English Sonnet
7) Self    A Free Verse
 
Chapter four
An Acrostic poem
~CHILDREN~
 
Chubby cheeks when they are born,   
Handfulls at two and three,                
In the years to come they grow so fast,
Loving them, we set them free...            
Daring and dashing on their own,        
Reckless in love as can be                      
Engagement, marriage, they become      
New parents of cheeks so chubby            
 
 
YOUR TURN
ENJOY
