Englyn

[Silas Thorne]

His mind's time was by rhyme tamed
to gum up in this word-game;
Phlegm-choked roosters lose their flame.

Yes, obviously form has the wind (of irony!) in its sails!

Dinna let the rooster burn
but keep it on a spit to turn
thus approbation fresh flesh earns
from mouths too occupied to spurn.

The herb of rhyme, if lightly used,
can season well and thus infused,
the meal's menu, when perused,
will leave the palate well amused.

Live and be well - H :D

PS Yours is an Englyn milwr if I'm not mistaken. I make no claim that my response is any kind of Englyn ;)

1 Englyn penfyr
2 Englyn milwr
3 Englyn unodl union
4 Englyn unodl crwca
5 Englyn cyrch
6 Englyn proest dalgron
7 Englyn lleddfbroest

Thanks guys for commenting on this wee one! I am, as always, in training. The princely walker of hills gave me a good few pieces of advice on these, and I'm still experimenting. Maybe at some future date I'll be able to write lines of some lovely cynghanedd (the individual patterns of internal alliteration and rhyme) without too much strain. Some of them can occur in English quite naturally anyway, but with training they might come to me without chipping at stones.
