Also, if you're into writing in iambic or trochaic meter, it can be worth trying one of these in either of those, it makes the flow really smooth. Mine that you read- "Let Me" - I consciously wrote trochaic all thru. (that's the syllabic foot that goes DUM-di, as opposed to the iamb, which goes di-DUM, as sonnets etc use). <br /><br />Strong stuff, as usual, my friend<br /><br />Kindest regards<br /><br />Luke @ WordSaladAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859401242211888920.post-70986586312962302732010-12-17T11:18:42.562-06:002010-12-17T11:18:42.562-06:00Thank you very much gs batty.Thank you very much gs batty.Other Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189646933597252108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859401242211888920.post-58483914479390225412010-12-16T22:57:10.697-06:002010-12-16T22:57:10.697-06:00I am not much of a poet and do not know alot about...I am not much of a poet and do not know alot about poetry but I really enjoyed theses lines.<br />they say a ton about life and they say it well.George S Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407137341843413701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859401242211888920.post-52106754677914778052010-12-16T07:53:24.352-06:002010-12-16T07:53:24.352-06:00Limits shmimits!
