Good evening, Erin, good to see you spot-on. Our friend the “wind” now needs to blow some fun your way. I’ll be waiting to see what fun it blows.

January 24th, 2013 at 4:09 PM
Such a sad poem, but one which could describe moments for each of us, I think. The thrill is knowing the the universe must stay in balance and that for each of the moments like this, there is one that shines with joy and grace.
Good job, Erin.
January 24th, 2013 at 7:03 PM
Thank you so much! I love this place! Everyone is so encouraging and supportive!
January 24th, 2013 at 10:38 PM
I sometimes wonder if writers and poets–heck, artists of all sorts–need the most encouragement and support of all. I know I’ve always found need for it. I doubt any here would say differently.
January 25th, 2013 at 12:17 AM

January 24th, 2013 at 4:11 PM
I like it, Marjory. It happens more often than we want to consider. Honesty is a good quality in poetry. At least for me. Good one.
January 25th, 2013 at 10:27 PM
Glad you like it – yes, it is too true – but then the reverse is also true. The city guys ‘get’ the country kid.
I remember a story of a “mountain of dirt” behind the dairy barn, where a young boy found out to late – that it was not as solid as it looked. !

When one believes
that tears on sleeves
must be all there is,
life finds all things
pointless, egregious,
endless and hopeless.
Those truths we conceive
Bring us much we receive.
Sorry, Erin. This is what came to mind when I read your verse. It reminded me of a lesson I had so many years ago when I went through such a period of feeling those deadening adjectives as you describe. I listened to the lesson and never turned back except to see how much I’d missed because I wasn’t looking in the right places.
Your verse spoke so loudly, so strongly. I hope you don’t mind that I replied this way.
January 24th, 2013 at 6:58 PM
No, Claudsy, I don’t mind at all. I need all the help I can get in whatever form it comes. So thank you!!! ❤
January 24th, 2013 at 10:37 PM
You’re welcome, Erin. I just didn’t want to see it as preaching because it wasn’t meant that way. You have many friends who’ll listen whenever you need them.
January 25th, 2013 at 12:20 AM
Heck, I wouldn’t have minded even if it was meant that way! I mean, we all need a preacher right? And at my age, I want to hear any advice from an older/wiser writer.
January 25th, 2013 at 12:32 AM
Ah, bless you, Erin. I’m glad. Older writer–yep, that’s me. Wiser–that’s up for debate according to whom you ask. Just be careful what you wish for. It’s one rule I always forget and one I always need the most.

Orange juice as it slip’ry, slimy runs

Where is your 9th beat? See W & M examples, and rules
January 23rd, 2013 at 8:46 PM
I did. I’m not sure what you mean. The final two lines each have 9 syllables in them. ???
January 24th, 2013 at 2:14 AM
Sorry you are right 9 beats, however…
In line five – beat 5,6,7 &8 come from
the line one (2 beats) plus
the second line ( two beats)
followed with the 9th beat (one beat)….’is’
Line six is the same setup using
the line three (2 beats) and Line four
followed with the final 9th beat….’whiz’
the 9th 1-beat of lines five and six are to rhymn (But are not the lines 1,2,3 or 4 which are each two beats.)
—–Woozy
—–Boozy
—–Bluesy
—–Floozy
—-Poor Suzy…so woozy, so boozy -
—-and not choosy. One bluesy floozy
5- Poor Suzy while woozy, boozy is
6- choosy, she’s a bluesy, floozy whiz.
January 24th, 2013 at 10:59 PM
Oh … yep. I see what you’re saying now, Marjory. The first four lines (our two-syllable rhyming words) are supposed to be used as the 5th-through-8th syllables in our final two 9-syllable lines. You’re right!
But RJ, your poems are oh-so-fun anyway!
Marie Elena
January 25th, 2013 at 10:10 PM
Yes, I think the hardest part is thinking up ‘what’ to poem about. Have been delighted with the various subject-matter selected and used. It is a delightful little form.

With their high-cost chilling drilling works
dentists get reps as billing filling jerks.

Oops….10 syllables on last line.
maybe…
“dentists are all billing filling jerks.”

A timely poem for me after having lots of dental work done. This is funny but true!

Here’s mine, but for the record, I found this form difficult!

Proud of herself, pretty giddy, she
has written a witty ditty, see?

I like it Sara! I found this difficult too. The last two lines were SO hard!
January 24th, 2013 at 2:23 AM
Erin, you’ve been doing a great job on this on.
I play with sounds, then I start with the last 5 beats of lines 5 and 6…..
January 24th, 2013 at 11:32 PM
Thanks, Erin. The last two lines were killers.
January 24th, 2013 at 2:20 AM
YES, you did, Sara, I do see.

Thanks, Marjory!

Thanks, Claudsy!

I think any of us who came up with something are pretty happy indeed. It was hard and only fun when we figured it out.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:46 PM
So true.

Harder than it looks, eh Bloomers?
It strikes me funny that there are more broken (we’ll say bended) rules for this form than any other one so far. But fun anyhow!

Us? Breaking rules? 😮 I can’t even imagine that! 😉
Let’s just say we took a little poetic license…
January 25th, 2013 at 8:42 AM
Yes, So much fun to read them…

Wind up…it’s a Heater! Cedar swings…

It’s my Mom’s fault. She got me hooked

Hoops , missed his name when I copied – above is by my #1 Son, Edward

That is so good, Edward! Bet your one proud mom, huh M?
January 27th, 2013 at 9:36 PM
Thanks Erin, I’ll pass your comment on to him. Trying to get him to take part in the Garden. I do not understand his baseball lingo, but he assured me that others would!
January 27th, 2013 at 10:19 PM
Oh I understood. Baseball season’s coming up and I’m looking forward to it!
