Nan darling girl, you know I’m going to say this is good, okay it’s much better than good, okay yes darling girl it’s excellent. How do you manage to do these? I am awed by your ability to write the most complicated verse structures and make them appear simple. I know they are not You are an absolutely fabulous writer I love the way you’ve constructed this. Well done darling heart as I’m said before YOU dear one are an excellent poet   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Dear Marsha, I sweated over this, be careful it may still be damp. These are not easy things to do. I think you would be a natural to do some. In my first one, I used 'nymphomaniacal' as my double dactyl word. I make you a present of it-it's slightly used but I'm sure it has lots of wear left.  Nan |

Hi Nan, Marsha told me that you were terrific at these, whatever they're called, nonsense poems? Are there any rules, or just use creativity? How about: Zwowschmoochahog A frog on a log Tasting bug jelly Said rivet to me with glee. I thought he was swell Until some frog jell Aquikslurpy'd over me As he licked a flea off my knee.

Lol Nan, you are great at these. I wonder if I would get a paranoidectomy for my next birthday if I asked. I could sure use it. *Huggles* For the talent. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Floria, Please do one. I look forward to seeing it. Bill, it's a bit different for me, but when the sweating was over, I enjoyed it. Newell, But jelly? Yucch! But cute poem. The form for thedouble dactyl is this: Rules for double dactyls. Dactyl-DUHduhduh First quatrain: 1. double dactyl nonsense 2. double dactyl name 3. double dactyl 4. single dactyl plus a stressed syllable. Second quatrain: 1. double dactyl 2. double dactyl(either this line or the one before must be a single double-dactyl word) 3. double dactyl 4. single dactyl plus stressed syllable. Must rhyme with ‘4’ in first quatrain. Hope you do one! Kethry, I need a round dozen --ectomies to do any real good.  peaches, Thank you so much. Nan (I feel like I'm doing a soliloquy) Thanks! Marge, How kind of you. Do one for me. I demand it. Michael, Thanks-glad you enjoyed it. Nan |
