YOUR BEST

(Read More...)

Legal Addiction

How can I describe this?!

Blood is no more running
in my venae ,
but ink

If water ceased flowing
I won't panic
I have the words
to drink

The crumbs of metaphor
and imagery
satisfy
my hunger

After today I won't rage
the iambic feet
calm my anger.

If no air existed,
I won't care,
I shall inhale
my rhymes.

If all deserted me
it's still o.k.
poetry's all
I need to fill
my times

I enjoyed this one and had to look one word up to see what it was lol, I am so glad that English is my first and only language, if I had to have another I would become unhinged lol,
I have left the rewrite a bit late for today but will try a little tomorrow.
How do you think Open is can it be two syllables O-Pen ??
Have a great evening well its morning now so just take care of you,
Yours Ian

As I am again out of time to write a longish piece.
I will try to write the Petrarchan sonnet this week.
Maybe I will finish something I will try the first type of sonnet ASAP,
Take care and know we think of you, Yours Ian.

I have a suggestion, a pun, which I don't expect you to take, puns are very naughty

After today I won't rage
the iambic feet
calm my anger.

After today I won't rage
the iambic feet
perambulate my anger.

Rula

Appreciate your suggestion.
Two reasons however for not taking the suggestion
First, pun isn't intended and
I'm not naughty and I have no intention to be:) (smiles)
Really value your visit.

that i had already commented on this rula
i love it... all up to the last 'to fill my times'
i know you are trying to keep to a rhyme, but I really don't think you need to at the end

just imo, i think the write would be so much more powerful if it finished at 'poetry is all i need'

love judy

to be quite honest, I like your suggestion and see what you mean. But, I do also like my ending. I thought it tells more than only keeping the rhyme. :)
Thank you dear. I really value your visit highly.
