    Oops - OH Gawd - I stuffed up!!

    After doing some hasty reminding of the use of syllables, is this better?

    In the vein of love
    move swift and free
    take my soul there

    Geez - I hope so
    You still must get your self sick, Doc...the last line is now composed of lesser than 10 but lesser than 5!!! Now how's that? Can I prescribe you something?

    I want to get you all better! You are such a very moving poet!! I read your poems in your thread and it moved me heaven and earth!

    Unremmitted peace
    No break from constant warfare
    Into the bunker
    There once was a scotsman named Drew
    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    Into the bunker
    Crime and love still lay asleep.
    Wish they would not wake.

    I will kiss him first,
    before I recede into

    It was good for me.



    Hand me the dagger
    Remember how I told you
    She would pay some day?

    Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.

    She would pay some day,
    She had always promised to
    Loan still unpaid

    Loan IS still unpaid (Kilt, you only composed a line of 4 syllables)
    Trudges on her dampened heart
    And moist conscience too
