EPIGRAM No1

 

EPIGRAM  No1

 

The tenor sang out and his voice hit the heights

like the wail of a cat on storm-ridden nights.

 

 

  

Epigrams are short satirical poems ending with

either a humorous retort or a stinging punchline.

Used mainly as expressions of social criticism

or political satire, the most common forms are

written as a pair of rhymed lines in the same meter.
