Underneath it all
Maybe it doesn't show but
She's got it, alright

Darn, Petrarch must have posted while I was typing. ^^ I'll try again.
Underneath it all
Maybe it doesn't show but
She's got it, alright
she's got it alright,
polish and shine, hair just right
but she lost her heart
Welcome Monday. i'm new too!
but she lost her heart
its been left out in the cold
where she used to roam
where she used to roam
required a two-step and toot,
do-do-de-le-do.
do-do-de-le-do
she hummed every now and then
in the falling snow
in the falling snow,
unoticed, the only trace
left was a pee trail.
Left was a pee trail-
Oops, I meen - mean - a pea trail
From the hungry cow.
From the hungry cow
came green milk. Definitely
because of the peas.
How's everyone doing today?
Because of the peas
There was a green dotted trail,
So hard to follow
So hard to follow
Is there anything at all
Dearest Finnegan?
Dearest Finnegan,
I am so sorry to tell you,
but I met another.
:D
an Irish Dear John letter? :D
but I met another
with eyes soft beyond dreaming;
and padded accounts.
:p
And padded accounts
Make for a soft fall when the
Market takes a dip.
Market takes a dip.
Oh, that a gecko so fair
Could insure my love!
(Come on! Play along. :P)
Could ensure my love,
Though common concerns
Keep me wondering.
Oops sry. i got mixed up. i fixed it
Keep me wondering
About where you were that day,
That day on the lake.
thefemalemind, you have too many syllables so I'm gonna follow Shoutgrace's haiku.
keep me wondering
about the morgage payment
to follow phone bills.
to follow phone bills
means getting a job, and i'm
just too lazy to.
Just too lazy to.
Or is it fear which binds me
In both love and life?
In both love and life,
Decisions will be made that
Time will be cruel of.
*Hmmm that was strange
Merlin's beard turns green
He used Grecian Formula -
Who put the dye in?
Syllables are defined by vowels (that' why linguists call vowels "syllabics"). It can be pronounced monosyllabically, like "fool" or bisyllabically, like "feul".
I have a degree in this kind of stuff.
Time will be cruel of
what comes before and after
Merlin's beard turns green

Does 'cruel' have one syllable or two?
Merlin's beard turns green
All men stand in hebetude
As Arthur proceeds
cruel only has one because if you put your hand about an inch under your chin and you say it, it only hits your hand once! thats how i learned
as arthur proceeds
into the overwhelming
realm of the unknown
Realm of the unknown,
Shifting land of shadow, why
Can't I get a grip?
Can't i get a grip?
why oh why o why can't i
understand the lies.
understand the lies
railed against Natures good grace
she ever bears wrong
she ever bears wrong;
orange tree giving lemons
and miniscule pears.
And miniscule pears
Worms tend to eat in the dark
Covered with the leaves
Nice one, Laindessiel.Quote:

Thanks, Virg! I am not a poet, actually, I'll leave that to Toni... But I'll try it once in a while...
Bushy tails wave back
Behind mahogany trees.
They whisper goodbye.
They whisper goodbye
Before smothering their child
With an old pillow
wow... thats negative...Quote:

on a hard mattress,
on top of a pea, the prince
shall find his princess
Shall find his princess
After a long, painful wait,
Longing for him, too.
guess what? I thought of you and Elizabeth when I wrote that.
longing for him too
daydreams cascade like waltzes
as day fades away
Awww, thank you, Riesa!
As day fades away
Dusk gives way to the twilight
Of newfound lovers.
Of newfound lovers
As I did the night before.
ghastly tunes I hear.
