A zebra speaks with couplets rhyming
Perfect rhythm, perfect timing
Gazelles, however, communicate
Through haikus that are top rate
Two friends meet again
They do not like each other
A silly story
The Haiku Gazelles
Elric of Melnipony
He created them

I'm Elric of Melnipony, and I approve of this message.
You missed a perfect chance to make the Gazelle speak in Ghazels and that's a shame
Bad.
Sad face :(

This writer right here
Created this bizzare thought
His autumn of verse
3283455
Alas my poetry fell into the realms of fanon
They escaped with my thoughts as if they were playing Madden
I long for proper rhyme, yes, proper verse and proper form
It launched away from me liken to a brazen cannon
And that, folks, is why I stick to the forms I know. For now.
Insanity is but one thing
that make this whole world swing
now behold the pwoer of chaos
as the whole world fears us
i shall not weep I shall not moan
for if I must I will be turned to stone
now let the end begin
as i finish this awful sin.
3283455 and you just made a form of poetry,
bet you didnt know it, now clap your knees!!
3290169
A sin, perhaps true
Though we're not darned by our sin
But merely faint praise
3317536 This is pathetic!! Poetry does not need rhyme nor reason!! It can flow free like the birds of season!! Now stop the haikus before my free form starts up a storm!!! Stupid haiku muke!!
3317809
Free form you say?
I cannot write in free form nor free verse
It always makes me feel as though I do not understand it
It feels as though I am not writing poetry
It is far too haphazard
I enjoy the security offered by specific syllables
A rhythm is my stronghold and refuge
Rhyming makes me smile
There's a certain pleasure in structure
3325367 True always so true,
But chaos is my home and hobby,
Something I always have enjoyed,
Now if you dont mind,
I will be taking off,
to places full of joy!!
Tata!!
I like couplets more.
But I write haiku better.
Someone trade me skills.
4130541
No skills can be traded
Whether high or low rated
It's impossible to compare
Now learned they can be
Shared twixt you and me
Though with my luck you shouldn't dare
My only real skill
Is understanding what rhymes
And what sounds like poop
4130600 A champion of word smithing,
And poetry, as well
You are wise to avoid the shitty poems
As they tend to smell.
4130649
But looking still pays
For ten-percent of all things
Bring the purest gold
4130786 Gold
You are a rock
Not gray, like some rocks
But gold, like a gold rock.
You are a rock

This story needs a sequel, narrated by the Iambic Pentameter Dragon.

Actually, i've got it in my head now that dragons speak in limericks, which are far easier for me to write than Iambic Pentameter.
Twilight has a test coming fast
Her battle with knowledge won't last
She explodes with giggles
And constantly wiggles
The treehouse vanished in a blast
Generally, I like it.
Uh...can someone please help me scan Scootaloo's verse? I'm seeing iambic tetrameter, not pentameter.
8483690
Amatuer though it may be, like stressing traditionally weak syllables, it is in rough Iambic Pentameter. Iambic Pentameter Pegasus Pony will now demonstrate.
Iambic pentameter; five sets of one unstressed and one stressed syllable.
“So, first(1) of all,(2) your rap(3) bat-tle(4) is lame(5)
You’ve shown your-selves as dweebs once and a-gain
If you can’t set-tle a sim-ple de-bate
With-out fling-ing a ton of mud and hate
What good are you for cre-a-ting this art
If an-ger is all that sets you a-part?
“Po-e-try in all forms is pre-tty neat
Their moods can range from des-per-ate to sweet
Shut up a-bout your hai-ku and your rhyme
I’m sick of you ar-gu-ing all the time
Let’s get this stink-ing show out on the road
And get some oth-er po-ets in the fold!”
I do not pretend it is a masterpiece, nor do I pretend it's pretty, but I do pretend that it's in Iambic Pentameter.
