MYTHS (meter shop)

Submitted by scribbler on Mon, 2013-09-16 22:18

There dwell within the mists of times long past
the roots of tales and myths we pass along
which help to tell us what is right and wrong
and perhaps how our future lives are cast

an attempt at iambic pentameter*

The Bottom Line

Childish me

Submitted by loved on Mon, 2013-09-16 19:33

A child and I
have one thing in common
childishness
I remember when as a child,
I wanted my hard earned dollar
ran out of the door my sister
and got a beating thereafter

a decrepit ole soul…
now as senility overpowers me
I think idealism is all I alone reveal
outright stupidity comes to me
I see nothing beyond the fence
blindness
darkness and superflousness
the forests cast shadows
as if twas total darkness
my mind behaves senile

breadth of night
breathing like the birds
in morning
frost burning off
fresh
and dripping
like forgotten sleet

and dream ghosts
still beneath
tables
in a room
of rows
asleep

Ian's Quatrain (Bottom Line is heart shaped)

Submitted by Ian.T on Mon, 2013-09-16 04:21

I touch the way I give to you my heart
In mind my thought is clear as you seem near
To hold your love my twin in life is good
Do let me melt our inner selves now love

Yours Ian.T

Rula's iamb quatrain (Bottom Line WS)

Submitted by Rula on Mon, 2013-09-16 01:50

If only words could tell how pretty she's.
She makes the golden sun in clouds to shy.
The moon, occults its silver beams afar
and stars in niche, when Eve has crossed his sky."

Spouse’s desire ....a poetic imagination

Submitted by loved on Sun, 2013-09-15 16:48

Oh lord all friends of mine
have been so relieved
when will you be so kind to me
this guy has prostate
no seeds, to lay
his mouth does stink,
I can’t sleep a wink
he farts all through the night
my nose I have to cover alright
I can’t like a kiss
he also perhaps does miss

the whole night he does snore
oh now what a bore
all these years I have ignored

Wesley's quatrain (The Bottom Line Workshop)

Submitted by wesley snow on Sun, 2013-09-15 12:51

Here is my quatrain. I have scanned it as an example, but no one need scan theirs. After posting we all will have a go at doing so in discussion.

 

A quatrain metric’lly commendable

is what I write for you my students fair.

In Iamb using five poetic feet,

the nuts and bolts of meter practical.

 

A qua- / train me- / tri-c’lly / com-men- / da-ble

IN A FOREST DARK

Submitted by Geremia on Sun, 2013-09-15 08:44

Where to go
when there is nowhere.
where to run
when you are hamstrung.
how to hide
from the demons
that follow
how to fill
a heart grown hollow.
how to find
the self you left behind

The Song of the Transportees

Submitted by Tam the Chanter on Sun, 2013-09-15 06:46

THE SONG OF THE TRANSPORTEE or

AUSSIE IMMIGRATION RULES

This ship sets sail for the end of the world,
And I am chained on board, restrained.
Else I would leap right over her side,
To reach you, my true love.

These Northern lights I’ll see no more,
Tears make them hazy, I’m half – crazy,
I leave you now, to live the rest of my life,
Without you, my true love.

THE HERON FLIES – HOMEWARD ‘CROSS THE EVENING SKIES.
BUT YOU AND I – NEVER MORE WITH YOU I’LL LIE.

Storytelling in Verse

when he left

Submitted by Rula on Sat, 2013-09-14 01:39

With his books,
with his shoes
and clothes
he packed
his awful yet cool jokes,
his raging-teen voice,
his imperfect actions,
his satisfactions,
and reactions
on serious and silly issues,

but he would never pack
the essence;
his sense of love
that shall linger
like his fragrance
to fill my void.
