Ohh Friday... sweet Friday. The first day of the week I can get drunk and not feel guilty.

I'm going to have to mod your ass now. This is a non-poetry thread on a poetry board. Read my lips (or font) P O E T R Y.
Now, I want you to write a acrostic villa-sonnet with a haiku opening and a double back flip ending that lands in a senryu/pantoum hybrid. And the theme is Happy Friday Dance.

The clock is ticking.

My ass has been modded. New and interesting.

Have patience on your poem request. The stack-o-work on my desk is threatening to tumble.

If you even attempt to write something like that, I'll be terribly impressed!

Read at your own risk...

Hapless I am here-
at work within its structure.
Please give me coffee.

Perhaps.

Yet that
familiar caffeinated tingle
rarely lasts beyond the
impending stack of mail.

Do I say the word-
And give up work for today?
Yes I think I heard.
Dare I go for a roll in the hay?

And give up work for today?
Next it is weekend
Care I to go roll in hay?
Einstein, yes, my friend.

***
Had to cheat a little on the repetition in the second pantoum-quatrain to make room for the senryu within. And I'll be the first to admit this is *not* a good poem. Butttttttt....

You have an acrostic beginning with a haiku that ends in a pantoum-senryu hybrid. I'm not insane enough to go for the villa-sonnet part, too--> my head would get all muddled with disagreeing structures, and after all, it is FRIDAY!

 

[The_Fool]

I think Ange is the proper personage to write the villa-sonnet.....

Or on an especially good day, villa-sonnet with sestina exposure....

 

[Tathagata]

villa-sonnet with sestina exposure....

shaken, not stirred

 

[average gina]

Mumbles jealously Y'all drive me nuts with your smart poetry... I'm trying hard to read e e cummings.

Not even happy about it being Friday, because in a couple of days, it'll be Monday all over again....

(Yeah, I'm a bitter bitch. Sue me.)




(Okay, not really.)

Eve, weekends are poetry that rhymes

NO long odes on the weekend. The time for love poems and Ogden Nash
(my favorite poet).
Trent_Dutch " The first day of the week I can drink and not feel guilty." There
is a ditty in that statement.
TGIF~~~~~Who wants a bite!

Friday

Friday's the day you remember that sometimes
Rock and roll really can save your life

if you just listen hard enough
if the music's loud enough
if you can open your soul to a set of drums and

a madman with a six-stringed axe
who wields every chord precisely
and chisels a smile on hard rockfaces

With lines about you waiting for me
and the heart of the weekend
beating in my ears,
drowning the bass drum,
trying to keep pace with the snare,

with all this, what the hell are we waiting for?
