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 💛💛💛

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.

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.

Oh lol, good writes and pic, and good poem for your grandson.
I know of some alternative therapy, involving some standing on your head a while, assuming a foetal position, some spooky \'rebirth\' stuff.
I said - but I got enough to deal with being the right way up, let alone being upside down. If we were meant to be so, we would have been born with feet on our head! Any Berles or Rinths about?

How our hearts sing for the renewal of spring. This year more than ever we are so ready to be a real part of that springtime renewal. How free we shall feel if it coincides with the lifting of this dark veil we have been existing beneath.
