I think that it’s going to rain, The day little light boasts, But goodness gracious, look at that- The sky is full of ghosts!

@ellenya, [I think that it’s going to rain]

Here is the opening of a little Halloween trifle; its charm is unfortunately largely nullified by the clumsy contortions of its expression. We open on an anapestic/amphibrachic line worthy of an Edward Lear limerick. So far, so good. Unfortunately, the next line is rhythmically dubious at best — but let us give the poet the benefit of doubt and shoehorn it into the same rhythm, with strong stresses on ‘day’ and ‘light’. We cannot, however, overlook the ungainly poetic license in the word order employed solely for rhyme, especially since the simplicity of the rhyme scheme (only every second line rhymes) hardly requires such contortions. The next two lines inexplicably switch to ballad meter: alternating iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter. The rhythmic indecision of the poet loses the simple, nursery-rhyme feel, which the poem occasionally has to good effect. It must be acknowledged that there is some semblance of consistency — the line lengths alternate between 8 syllables and 6 syllables, in some strange bastardisation of the traditional ballad form. Perhaps the poet feels that the masters of English poetry were misguided in their focus on accentual verse and wishes us to turn to syllabic verse instead? ;^|

I rate this quote 6/10 gingerdead people.

In answer to @ellenya 's poem 1871

if your mind is blank and you

are ready to give up

I'm sure you know that this won't do

you have to fill the cup

in which ideas can float around

waiting there to see

can any use for them be found

and set them slowly free

I have to say -of this I'm sure-

It was a clever thought

I hoped my ideas would endure

whilst i write on a lot

a few mishaps, some weeks without

a line on paper did

make me go fishing in that cup

and I'm glad for it!

In answer to @ellenya 's rhyme poem 1833

my father was known for his sneeze

he never with them was at ease

all summer because of the hay

the poor man would sneeze night and day

my mother fled out of their bed

his hayfever drove her quite mad

in wintertime often a cold

his sneezes increasing tenfold

all in all peace was achieved

when the poor man died -

left us in grief

In answer to rhyme 1727 of @ellenya

there are many ways to fight our stress

looking at ducklings, I confess

is not a method known to me

but why not, if it sets you free

I like to sing, grab my guitar

write lyrics down 'bout things which are

a constant reason to cause pain

then suddenly I smile again!
