It has been said mixing meters is wrong and yet I still must attempt to The challenge is just to much I'm afraid unless you make rules exempt you. Such is this curse as George Carlin explained it drives one to try some new trick as "Those who dance are considered insane by those who don't hear the music" |

Walkin' to the beat of different drummer will get you a half bubble off plumb, one taco shy of a combination plate, one brick shy of a full load....  Lori |

Meters? If there are 3.2808 ft in a meter, how many toes are in a foot? And, do feet stink if no one is there to smell them?  JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Pray for me... I knew I was close to the edge, but my, oh my, I didn't know that my hindsight was sharper than my foresight... I forgot what Bullwinkle always says: "Go, Go, Go for cheerios, but watch where you're going!"  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Alison, Thanks lol, dance away! Doc JL, Thanks, lol, now you're starting to ask the really important questions, and don't let Balladeer dissuade you, there's nothing "dark" about the side I'm on, unless laughter is "bad" in which case we're all doomed. Doc Balladeer, Are we casting aspersions again? I had expected more from you, like maybe a critique of the mix, oh well. Lol, thanks anyway. Doc Sunshine, Thanks , part of the reason I enjoy playing to a small audience, lol. Ron would probably have me quarantined if I started to spread. Doc James, Thanks, seriously, this was not easy. In one of our conversations Balladeer proposed that one could mix meters at the start of a line, or, at the end of a line, but, never in the middle without losing the reader. This , of course I took as a personal challange ( go figure, lol). I maintain one can do almost anything and still have the reader follow if a strong enough pattern is established with every accent ( stress ) hitting dead on. Personally, I think this one works, but hey, maybe that's just me. Doc |
