As i said to the milkman \'dairy Lee\' this morning. I think you\'re wasting your time trying to get a one night stand with \'prim Ula\'. You might as well stuff it in a gorgons \'ola.

BRIAN HERE ~ Good Thorsday Uncle Mike ! Love the VISUAL ~ my Grandmama has a Dinner Service just like that in Blue & White ~ awesome !

Talking to Cheesy is never easy
With GOUDA one has to speak LOUDA
With CHESHIRE a little more PRESHIRE
With DANISH BLUE one must Bill & Cue
WENSLEYDALE likes to make you WALE
Talk nicely to BRIE ~ sit her on your KNEE
Speak in Greek to FETA ~ You*ll never FORGETA
GO the extra MILE & you*ll make them all SMILE
I could go on ~ BUT ~ my coffee breaks GONE !

Blessings & Prayers to You & Jeanne

Michael this theme is getting a bit cheesy, or maybe that\'s just me and my incessant need for ever-witty commentary, lol
(forgive me, I was dropped one too many times as a child)

MISS SYLLA BERLES
L. B. Mek said:

well I bow to the mastery that is Dusk Arising\'s comment above,
but for my two cents I\'ll just add that one way to bypass Miss Berles restrictions is to utilise the mind-numbingly endless brilliance that is repetition - of a verse or a word, it matters little, the result is what counts-out - the smooth rhythms in classic\'s majesty: like our beloved Tyger\'s and late night Raven\'s with nothing more than a landing cushion of nevermore\'s...
alternatively, just sing out your miscounted syllables with the warmth of Cilla\'s accent and we\'ll all have a \'lorra lorra laughs\',
good write Michael thanks for inspiring my little scribble

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Good Evening Uncle Mike ~ Brian here ! Love the Symmetry of the VISUAL ~ very Poetic ! Anybody can Rhyme but METER (syllable count) is a Black Art and is conspicuous by its absence in much Poetry posted on MPS. Angela & I DO TRY to post Poems that scan & are recitable ~ because we are Performance Poets. Some MPS poets do request assistance in making their Poems scan. I was taught that - for recitability - a Poem should scan. WE learned the hard way by Performing Shakespeare & G and S etc etc. All Performance Poets - Burns - Betjeman - Pam Ayres - Benjamin Zephaniah etc etc compose Poetry that does SCAN !
There are three factors in composing a Poem ~ Stuart Structure - Ronny Rhyme & Silla Berles ~ These three but the greatest of these is SILLA ~ AMEN !

Blessings & Prayers to You & Jeanne
Love Angela Brian & Smokey πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

Ha ha - - loved both the verse and the reference to misgivings when syllables go all haywire in writers\' hands - -- a smile well earned with this clever ditty dear Michael and D.A.\'s response mad me giggle too.

dusk arising said:

I find it quite possible
to miscount my syllables
but it\'s rather apparent
when the meter is errant
and your readers won\'t go
where you\'ve buggered the flow.
But i\'m courting the position
of more complex composition
which i learned from a bimbo
who threw rules out the window
her metaphors were cryptic
I suspected dyslexic
her spelling atrocious
on correcting - ferocious!
so i decided instead
though i miss her in bed
to compose silly ditties
musing o\'er her her ti......

A set of symptoms which wont let go of me
Are the after effects of chemotherapy.

Though i doubt my memory will see a reviver
I count myself lucky, to be a survivor.

Though none of us know what tomorrow may bring
Today is the right time to joyously sing.

Dunno why but i seem to want to join in with your posts and create some small ditty if i can. Maybe you\'re just inspirational lol.
