Turtle Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 ___Here is my thought for this thread. I think long poetry is at odds with this venue, but quatrains may suit it well enough. Kind've a step up from the 'Take a Moment', but not lengthy either. Posters may post their own quatrain, comment on those of others, or simply lounge languidly in front of the screen.___Without further ado, a quatrain I composed years ago while driving on a bridge over the mighty Columbia River in mid-Winter. A quatrain to say,what happened today.It broke out in yellow,in the Land of Gray. :hyper: :cup: :cup: :cup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I have in mind by quatrain, a 4 line poem. Any meter, rhyming or not, & having a contemplative theme rather than capricious. If it's scientifically oriented, so much the better.:hyper: Queso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Spinning some thread from virtual wool,Succumbing to Hypography's irresistable pull,The electrons go rushing without any rhyme,'Til they spill onto desktops one at a time.

GAHD Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I always have the same old thoughts to bend, controll, or keep at bayit's sad but love seems to think the sameyou are bent, controlled, or pushed away I met a yellow man todayI Don't quite rememberHis face, his clothesWhat did he say? Love cannot die, It must always be killed,some people like that murder,for it gives a little thrill. From my exprienceI'll share a little fact;the biggest gains in lifecome from standing back to back Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thank you; I had a reputable reprisal reference. Ordinals, cardinals, remainders or primes,I like to see numbers in everyday rhymes.First 1 then another how many times,Once round the clock face brings on the chimes.
