"The Dome": Dactylic Hexameter quatrain- Ron Woodruff

Scars / lock up our / o-pen / gash-es clean. / Such does the | mind mend life's / pain-ful breach: (this can be scanned in a number of ways, but for the most part it is Dactyl)

Mem-or-ies / spec-ter like / strike in sleep / bring-ing past's / tok-en mists, / phan-tom smell (this verse works)

Wells-i-an / ven-ture to / view the once / known shapes of / grace-ful breast / stretch in reach (as does this)

Hand grown cold / chest pal-lor / drained to know / pain of loss / all too well. (“pallor” gives me a little grief as it does not read Phyrrically very well, but not problematic enough for me to scan it otherwise)

I would very much like to see you learn to use Advanced Formatting as it will eliminate what little confusion there is in your use of capitals.

Time to write a long poem… and I see you have joined Beau’s audio workshop, so I will expect to hear that poem narrated by your dulcet tones.

... was a requested minimum. I suspect you know how I feel about poems of some length. Scott once mentioned that he would truly like to write something epic. I told him when he had 20,000 lines to come talk to me about "epic".
I would love to read something by you that had some "real" length.
Go for it , please.

Jess has asked me to keep the workshop open until Beau puts some time on her audio shop. We are going to use the poems from this shop as the first experiments in the audio, so you have lots of time. Use it.

complex and meaning
vivid

Thank You!
(I enjoy all forms of expression as it was difficult early on to
reach into the abyss there for me....but Im starting to
enjoy what Im reading and I like this poem)

because the answer is not a nor b but sometimes c
that and water logic..the idea is to flow about
obstruction then to just bash through it..
I learned alot from books Eduard De Bono
saved my ass when I lost everything
before and then again..

but I keep pounding out poems too
its not easy....Im not always greatly happy
with some of them but I know
that another twenty four hours something
startling may emerge from my contacts
and one liners from my many people
and muses here in my day

most of my work comes from what
I experience of course
although imagination is a great gift
for some....Madness as reality
my friend said at work
a great woman co worker..

Its great to work with inventive people
like yourself Ron

Nice Plath too.
