What The Heck's A Clerihew ? ~*Marge Tindal*~ Soft of song our Balladeer Tell of tale so very clear Writ of wit on pages blue Without his stories, what would we do ? A man of wisdom, that Seymour Tabin Gives us all a look within Fancy tales of Randy dragon Breathing fire with tail a'draggin' ! Mighty hidey muse of JanetMarie Keeps her in a search of thee Very often she does inquire Suppose that muse is in retire ? Take a look at vlraynes' rhymes Goes by Vicky most of the time Can compose a challenging rictameter Look for her - bet ya' can't beat her ! Then there's the wizard, Ron Carnell Ah, you all know him very well You can find him in the center Of all the action at the printer ! Just a piece of PoetdeVine When she scribes her verse so fine Jumps right on the pages blue With a rhyme, or maybe two ! You'll find NaniNess out in the car She tries to pass off as a Jaguar Yes, we all know it's really pretty But I hear Long John is after that kitty ! Elizabeth Santos on the passenger side Figured she'd go along for the ride Knuckles white in sheerest fright Nan signaled left ... turned right ! She sells SEA~ rhymes down at the shore Then we all come back for more Knowing that with all her wit She will make a go of it ! Could not leave out our own dear Kit Who always makes a poetic hit Perfectly metered, well-thought rhyme She simply does it every time ! On the sidelines, Dr.Moose1 Having just a peck of fun Hanging out now in Open #15 Lord, that poet makes laughter scream ! Now if it should happen that SirCam Shows up in your virus scan Just be sure to DELETE him quick I hear he's such a little (well, you know) If you find these Clerihew's fun Go ahead and write just one To the Workshop Forum you should go Get the lesson and go with the flow ! Okay, kids ... Time to figure out just what we're up to here !  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Another happening that I have entered in the middle...that's it, a decision must be made. Work or sleep, one has to go. I'm missing way too much here! |

I followed your advice to look in the workshop forum and I enjoyed as I really do your clerihews, they're so well written. I tried a few myself too and you're in it Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Okay sweet LadyInWhite I hope that I got that right Such a special rhyme from you Induction now in Clerihew ! It's easy to see, JLR You will not get very far If you continue to Work AND sleep instead of Clerihew ! Along came Cindi Palmer at ring of bell Couldn't get in the classroom ... oh, well As soon as the teacher reports back to duty She'll let you in, you little cutie ! Seymour Tabin, you are sooooooo wise Now lift that fog out of your eyes Go to the classroom now to view The making of a Clerihew ! Titia Geertman reported to school Couldn't find the teacher with the golden rule Come on back when she gives you the key Then post that Clerihew for me ! Oh my gosh, Vicky Raynes girl Your rhymes are just a sparkling pearl You know that I find it sweet That you'd share your special treat ! A ray of Sunshine behind each cloud Peeking out when allowed Karilea in frolicking rhyme In Clerihew she's doing time ! Along the path strewn in Martie treats Unique the treasures beneath her feet Oh yes, my dear - it's quite outrageous The Clerihew is quite contagious ! Into the ring jumps Balladeer Tag-team mate keeps Margie near I think it's very safe to say We'd make a good match any day ! *Whew .....  UNCLE ! ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I'm jumping into a couplet too, And what of a Margie clerihew?  Funny, romantic, temper of fire, Always trying to poetically inspire. ~Very clever~ x o ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |
