I've just found this thread. Great stuff mate.
I've just found this thread. Great stuff mate.
I liked the pun in line two, but I think the stress is on the second syllable in the man's name--[a SAHD] rather than A-sahd, so it's not a dactyl (one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed.) "SOUND biting SOMberly" is a double dactyl, though.
Terrific effort. Keep 'em comin'.
You are right, I have't got those DDs down yet. I'm finding writing stuff to a set form is NOT easy.

No, I mean to a pre set rigid form. The difficulty is to make it flow naturally, while hitting all the rhythm rhyme and reason criteria.

Merde! !Sacre blue! Et mon dieu!
Mon French je avez perdu,
Mon mots du amour,
S'est tres tres poor,
So I'll stay in my local purlieu.
Ça me fait rire !! C'est plus amusant parce que c'est pas bien formé. Attention les articles possessifs au pluriel !

Au pluriel ? What! is it raining?

The Chase.
Diana with her beau in hand,
Driven by Silenus,
Driven down into the underpass,
Pursued by the hounds she bred,
Down to the gates of Hades.
The steel and Concrete,
Would not part for her,
But the impact of the crash raised her up,
And through Media's intercession,
She sits among the immortals.

You may borrow my barrow
When I've consulted the tarot
And emptied it of carrot.

(Photo of girl with a bike crossing a foot bridge)
The Enchanted Woman.
Stop time now,
At this perfect moment,
As she stands above the frame,
Held in unspoiled blue,
Above the grim miasma
Of the world beneath,
Before she steps from her pedestal
Down into ordinariness,
Before her shoulders stoop,
From the weight of the day,
And I let my held breath go.
The camera grants half the wish,
Her shadow will remain upon the bridge,
Held forever in enchantment,
Her body will cross over, back into life,
Dirty, grubby Life! with all its joys and sorrows.

Borrow it you may,
When I empty it of Flageolet,
And don't you go getting it wet.
I'll certainly lend it to you
When I've emptied it of mange-tout
And played upon my flute
I call this new poem-form "French Connection" or "Barrow Borrowing".
