This is one of the two of these little nasties hat I've managed to contrive in my dark poetic past -- LOL.  I chose this one because it bemoans the strictures (and limitations) of the form ...

With Apologies

Creating song in verse
Creating song in verse
This poet's happiness
This poet's happiness
This happiness in verse
Creating poet's song;

Of words composed in play
Of words composed in play
An artful parody
An artful parody
In parody composed
An artful play of words.

Pride wrought of artist's skill
Pride wrought of artist's skill
Regrets an empty well
Regrets an empty well
An empty pride well wrought
Regrets of artist's skill;

Composed in poet's words,
An artful song of play;
Creating happiness.
An artist's pride regrets
This parody of skill
Well-wrought in empty verse!



Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

Skyfyre,
To my way of thinking ( which may be a little skewed )this is an excellent rendering of a very demanding form .

once again, I am amazed at how you can untangle words and put them back together using such a difficult form! I guess some have it and some (me) don't! Nice job!

Sky, once again, a superb job. I must echo Debbie in my appreciation for your talent in rewriting such lovely lines into equally beautiful perfectly coherent measures. Bravo!

LOL... Do I detect a bit of poetic lachrymation here?... Of course, even your muttering is well done...
