A style that works well for conversations is the two-voice poem. It's pretty much exactly as it sounds. It is written in two columns to designate two speakers. It doesn't have to rhyme, although I thought it would be fun to make mine rhyme.
Do you like Boots?
What? To wear with a hat?
No, I was thinking of
a name for the cat.--
Too dull, don’t you think?
What else have you got?--
I’ll have to sit down
and give it some thought.
Her front paws are white.
We could call her Mittens. --
That is the name of
ten million kittens.
How many cats will respond
when you call her?--
Not a one. No cat
answers a holler.--
Andromeda and Persophine
are fun.--
Look at her face –
She likes neither one.
She has a mustache.
We could name her for that--
Mustacha might be a
great name for a cat.
Tacha for short -- the name
suits her – we’re done.--
It wasn’t so hard to
settle on one.
Our cat has a name.
We’re finished – oh joy!
Wait a sec… --
What now?--
Our cat is a boy.
