IamBic-torious
~*Marge Tindal*~

Oh heaven help us
on our choice of rhyme
For Marge thinks she’s a poet
in pentametered time~

She doesn’t even know the count
or where iambic feet lie in measure
But give her an inking well
she’ll pen another treasure~

Just don’t ask her to structure
her versing meter
For sure as the sun comes up
it will surely defeat her~

It isn’t what she does
with her smelly poetic feet
Goodness knows … given a chance
bad meter she’ll repeat~


*With TOTAL beg of forgiveness to the poets here
but it was instigated by … a muted one sooooo dear*
For certifiable evidence of my poetic insanity –
Peruse this Oldie ... NOT Goldie –
/pip/Forum24/HTML/000305.html
DAWN … it’s ALL YOUR FAULT !


~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram <))><

Love it. If I have rhyme or keep my meter I'm in trouble with a capital T. Now my meter is counting, right? Ok 1 2 3 5 7 6 8 ?
Hey I have take off my socks to count my toes. Now lets see. One little piggy went to market, one little piggy stayed home, one little piggy had......CHOCOLATE CAKE and one little piggy had none and the other licked his one toe all the way home.
My goodness I seem to have only one toe.
Oh! Well!
Bye
Love Bon-Bon

Marge, you taught me well as I too have no clue what any of this means. Darn girl, I don't even know the words! I just know this poem was adorable and had me giggling.

Huggles, Marti

this was a fun read. poets are licensed to go crazy with their words sometimes, it's very entertaining when they do!
