Boonstra Brain Function or Boonstra is seven-line stanzaic poem. It is wordic rather than syllabic and follows the 11-10-9-6-4-2-1 word count. Its main rule is that, it has to do with the function of the brain and body. It means, it focuses on the poem character’s actions/movements and thoughts and is not entirely emotion-based.

Oh! There it goes into a dense labyrinth, away from warmth
For it thinks darkness is solitude, far from conniving creatures
Who try to change its path by being preachy,
Wheedle it out of thorny adventures
To embrace what is
Accepted by
Society.
Ah! There it rejoices feeling sorted, away from the usual craze
But pity, it is now caught in an inextricable maze
Whose tentacles slit through it, till the mind slumps.
A flame that long burns itself
Can break the shackles
Set thoughts
Free.
