Trying my hand at different poetry types

Acrostic:

                                      Father goes to work
                                      And
                                      Mother drives to school
                                      In the car
                                      Leaving
                                      You to learn



                                                                         I am a
    great Magician pulling           
 A rabbit out                  
   of my Green hat            
  I am
           a Navigating
 Astronaut who    
             loves to Travel       
  I am an    
  Oscar                
               winning Nominee

          Doublet:


Through the barn doors we see         
         a new born foal
                                                anxious to greet the morn         
     but a new moon rises        
            creating a still mood



          Reverso:

There is a hole                         Cold.
in my sock.                              My toe is
How did it get                          there.
there?                                       How did it get
My toe is                                  in my sock?
cold.                                         There is a hole.

Villanelle:


                             From the sky comes the snow
                             Coating the world in
                             A blanket, thick and white.

                                    Mother Nature has made         
The earth cold with her creation:                
From the sky comes the snow.

                                   We can make snowmen 
In the morning from      
A blanket, thick and white

And perhaps they will grow    
If the next night should bring  
From the sky comes the snow


We can’t wrap ourselves up.    
Too cold is
A blanket, thick and white

But we can make snow
Angels and other creations      
From the sky comes snow
A blanket, thick and white
