Several folks posted poems recently
So here's one I just found. I in no way wrote this, I'm not nearly clever or patient enough.
Poem: I lik the form
My naym is pome /and lo my form is fix’d
Tho peepel say /that structure is a jail
I am my best /when formats are not mix’d
Wen poits play /subversions often fail
Stik out their toung /to rebel with no cause
At ruls and norms /In ignorance they call:
My words are free /Defying lit'rate laws
To lik the forms /brings ruin on us all
A sonnet I /the noblest lit'rate verse
And ruls me bind /to paths that Shakespeare paved
Iambic fot /allusions well dispersed
On my behind /I stately sit and wave
You think me tame /
Fenced-in and penned /bespelled
I bide my time /
I twist the end /like hell
* “lik” should be read as “lick”, not “like”. In general, the initial section on each line should be read sort of phonetically.
Written for World Poetry Day, March 21, 2018. When I had this idea earlier today, I thought it was the worst, most faux hip pretentious idea for a shallow demonstration of empty wordsmithing skill in poetry ever. So I had to try to write it. I mean, how often do you get to fuse the iambic dimeter ofbredlik- one of the newest and most exciting verse forms - with the stately iambic pentameter of the classic sonnet?

Nice work, Ferret! That was quite a good poem.
