Sorry in advance, all! Vlraynes comment about Death By Crow started me thinking about syllables, and once I've asked the gravitous question, "what if?" I can't let it alone until I find out!

Boomer ang

Boomer
ang wheeling her
ky-jerky arounda
bout the field, misses the ima
ginary bird, still near level, then ris
ing, turning back, losing moment
um, falls at my feet. Won
derful flight, boom
erang!



Cheer up though -- my last "what if" was whether a sonnet really needed fourteen lines: /pip/Forum76/HTML/003248.html

Now I'm going to break another rule and cross post this to Open.....!

You haven't broken a rule yet, when you cross-post to Open, Ed...from here, to there...
it's allowed...
so why do I get the feeling you're pulling my leg?

As for this?

Quite clever,
quite imaginative...
and quite ornery...

Pulling
Sunshine's leg is
more fun than married guys
and even some single guys are
allowed...!

Boomer
Ang goes back a
Round to where it once be
Gan to fly circles on the play
Ground never ever ending in a touch
Down where poets could toss it a
Gain it was surely a
Verse 'til bell rang
