~*Ring Around The Rhyme*~  Ring around the rosy A pocketful of rhyme Rumplestiltskin's spinning gold One limerick at a time Jack and Jill went up the hill And when they reached the summit Jack fell down on bended knee And sang to Jill a sonnet Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet Penning a simple senryu While the Itsy Bitsy Spider Spun a shimmering web of haiku Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall Composing a paradelle Before he could write the very last line He slipped off the wall and fell... His head did swell Little Jack Horner Sat in the corner Reciting a lovely free-verse When out of the night A villian'elle's squall Incited the crowd to disperse Oh curse! ~vlraynes I decided to dig this one out of the Archives, just for fun. I hope you all enjoy.  "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (12-19-2002 09:26 PM).] |

Let me talk to little Miss Muffett...there's nothing simple about a Senryu! I missed this on the first merry-go-round...glad you brought it up from the archives. Isn't longevity fun for us old timers? Can't wait for the new kids on the block to become old timers so we get to see THEIR stuff on a second-time-around...  |

Vicky, this newcomer sure was glad you put this back on here..........  I loved it all...the verses, the meaning, and the cute little smilies playing "ring around the roses"...I always loved that game, didn't you? I even liked playing it with the little kids at Bible School at Church. Thanks...... ~Ethel~ |

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall Composing a paradelle Before he could write the very last line He slipped off the wall and fell... His head did swell ============================= Well I cant write a paradelle so Im impressed with Ole Humpty's Dumpty classic and clever Vicky humor wrapped in rhyme...always a good thing!! Happy Holidays to you girlie Will the wind remember the names it has blown in the past? |
