Okay Balladeer, I decided to try a shorter one. Then, when I get a short one, I will try a longer one. Ok?


My head is hurting from tonight
I want to get this meter right
This meter is so hard for me
Each time I try to write you see

It seems you've got this meter licked
Your writing skills are getting slick
I think it's time you graduate
From Deer & me you get an "A"

I didn't think I was ever going to get it. I try to write one a little longer now. Hopefully perfect. Thank you Balladeer for your help.

Smartchick,
I, for one, never had any doubts that you would understand Iambic meter. It's obvious you love to write, there-fore everything will fall into place.It does help to have such wonderful coaches like Nan And Deer.
Be well, write much.
Doc
