I call these square poems because they have the same number of syllables per line as there are lines in the poem. For example, a four-line poem would have four syllables per line, and a six-line poem would have six syllables per line.

This poem has nine lines, so it has nine syllables per line.

Square poems do not have to rhyme, (unless your name is Wes Vogler, and then you can't help it) and they do not have to be acrostics.

I have three different kinds of goldfinch feeders, plus other bird feeders. I love to watch the birds. There's something relaxing and therapeutic about it.
