We've all met this Irish Rose writing words in rhyme not proze Redhaired gal from this Island far next year she'll go there but not by car There's Marge Tindal a poet dear we certainly can't miss her here she writes words of warm support to many members of this board And what about Catalinamoon who wants to meet us very soon Will she really reach her nice goal for us to meet in flesh not only soul I saw Dr. Moose1 in this workshopforum he brings his poetry with much decorum A firm giggle here and some LOL's there don't be mistaken his intention is to care With Munda I feel a special band because she's from my own homeland I don't see her often wich I regret I liked her ballade I'll tell you that Last but not least there's Nancy cute who has led us into clerihew dispute A great teacher of this class she is And for letting me in she'll get a kiss A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Thanks Cindy for your kind reply. Keep trying, they're not too difficult. Just think of someone you know, for instance your mother or father or a friend and think about what's typical about them and then try to put that in a short verse rhyming a a b b. You'll get the hang of it, I'm sure. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Munda says that Titia's Dutch For this reason she has much Finesse and charismatic charm and brains that don't do any harm Then Munda wrote some funny words Some jibberish I have never heard Am I a little out of touch? Or do you people still speak Dutch? You did it Titia, great verses! Be dunked, merci! Liz |
