(so you won't have to look up the form, it is written in the following: line 1-1 syllable line 2-2 syllables line 3-3 syllables line 4-4 syllables line 5-10 syllables It is called a tetractys) sage advice is given to separate fools from themselves, lest wisdom become tired |

Wow Steaven, it's a good thing it stopped when it did... I had run out of fingers and toes... Tis quite the interesting... As for me, I'm having a hard enough time finding a word to rhyme with purple... Whatdaya think about maple surple? Any who... I liked the poem... You know, there's no fool, like an old fool... Just ask, any young fool. Take Care  |

steavenr... I don't know if I like your writing more or the fact that you are giving us such a miraculous education while entertaining us with "sage advice"! For both...thank you! This was wonderful. Love and Light...jc p.s. Richy...purple is one of three words in the English language that does not have a rhyme...orange is another & I can't remember the third. Hope this helps! This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light. |

McLean & Richy Purple, Orange and Silver The burglar stumbled down the stairwell broke his leg and turned it purple I knew he hoped that it would get well When he wrapped it in the blanket thermal If it simply were not for that blessed floor flange (The one that caused his mis-step) His leg would have not turned from purple to a brilliant orange And his freedom he just might have kept But it was Christmas time when the halls were all decked out With wreaths of green and bells of silver For which if he had paid attention as he stole about He would not have paid the penalty of lameness for that which he did pilfer |
