hope some of you writery persons join in this, if only to exercise your grey cells.


twelve lines of any length - can be broken into verses if you like.
title: As You Like It

rhyme scheme:

a
a
b
c
b
d
e
f
e
g
a
a


the interesting part, if you like jigsaw puzzles, will be to fit in as many of our usernames (in part or whole) into the poem and have it still make sense -ish.

:cool:


c'mon then, get to it ;)

lmao.

start with a rhyming couplet, then two verses (if you want to break it that way) where the first and third lines rhyme, then finish with a second rhyming couplet that should also rhyme with the opening one.

nothing to say you can't play fast and loose with the rules - it's about getting your writinginess firing.

just last night? i've not had any for yearrrrrrrrrrs, dear :D

due date? hmmn, lemme think... how does a week sound?
 
Angeline, of fiery dreams
and ee, cold as ice cream
began to wither in the heat
that Champagne could not quench.
But Tungs tripped out a newer beat
and caused faint hearts to quiver as
new words turned into songs of joy
fair breeze wiped off the sweat
the Woman with her chilly boy
burst forth with words of love
and smiles glowed as laser beams
Like it or not their hearts did gleam!


Whew!

hahahaha - quick off the cuff, and there was you playing possum like a wounded birdie - well, you know what i mean, lol.

brilliant stuff :D hope it gave you a smile as you wrote it!
 
okay, here's my bit of nonsense - unpoetry let's call it :D

As You Like It

when it's just after twelve, when the bogus shout "BOO!"
i'll be under your spell, i'll be drowning in blue

like they say all that glitters (yes, glisters, i know)
ain't gold, but there's gold in pandorica's hills ;)
and a timelord can hold on a kaishuku's toes
as it drifts on a ku-cloud, a metaphor's zen

a rose is a rose, though in neon - too bull
it's friday am! Angie, ishtat the time? :eek:
now it's better in bronze, so erotic it pulls
like champagne so gold, or a try(i)st in the dark

this dithering writty, 's all parrotdee, true
but i'm just a chippy, here snerking for you

Thanks, but I'm not happy w/ this. Too forced. Not really me. But it was fun anyway!

just a bit of nonsense, but these all act as exercises for building up the muscles of our tools.

each Twelve will cause a sad Boo hoo (cringe!)
alas poor Charley Simply sighs.
