The stage is awash with lights,
The time is almost midnight,
All the world's; Who said those words?
Shakespeare, yes; but it's absurd.

All of our lines having been writ,
To make a neat, proper fit?
The Bard penned many a line,
This one did spoil like bad wine.

I will have to try a trimeter...seven syllable poem. I usually write the iambic pentameter. Good one Jerry...Enjoyed

Yeah, I write the trimeter often, Victoria. Thank you for being here and commenting. I used to experiment with different styles of poetry than I do these days. Getting old and set in my way I guess.

JP, you'll never be set in your ways. You'll get an itch soon, and just to be obstinate, you'll scratch a difference into your poems because you just want to.

Enjoyed it, Sir!

Hah! I hope you are right, Karilea, and that I will continue to be  little whacked out when it comes to my poetry. Thank you for your time here in my corner of the Blue Room.
