The Poet’s Disease In a jungle far from me simian hosts carried a strain about to mutate thus ruining some poor bard’s excursion not to mention my life! Iambic Pentameter they call it now.. after who or what I have not the slightest…. a thread virus under the ‘scope five iambic feet long causing sweats and an aching back with excruciating headaches from compulsive syllable counting in a feverish state of mind while riding the last quatrain in a theme that leads to nowhere. I have this disease presently it seems seeing life in metered segments … where all used to be unimpeded existence is now a-b-a-b/c-d-c-d/e-f-e-f/g-g. The end is close. Nurse Nan….please Morphine more morphine Gasp….sputter….gag :-Þ RB ------------------ if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

This was so great Robert--signed up for the class myself but was sick before I even started. Give me the freedom of verse--no curse, to tell the thoughtful ramblings of this so-called poet. Sorry Nan. |
