AN EDILLETTE
Perpetually open minded opinions
Opinions perpetually open minded
Minded opinions perpetually open
Open minded opinions perpetually
Perpetually open minded opinions.
The idea for this came to me yesterday whilst convalescing reading Charlotte Bronte’s novel Villette in which I came across two words used in reverse for effect– a bit of a challenge and not up everyone’s street, but fun. For want of something better I’ve called it an Edillette.
In case it’s not obvious the rules are:
- No conjunctions
- Each line (phrase) must stand up in its own right (ask could you insert in a sentence)
- Each line contains the same 4 words arranged as follows:
- .
- Line 1 abcd
- Line 2 dabc
- Line 4 cdab
- Line 5 abcd

A good fine write
Write a good fine
Fine a write good
Good write a fine
A fine good write!
Erm, this went wrong a bit. Who's writing out fines? How much is the fine?!
It's fine if you write the fine right
but wrong if you right the fine wrong.
I shall get headache in a minute, thinking this much first thing of morning!
You can get one at Asda - they're doing a special offer at the moments while stocks last. They come with a free packet of Parrotseatemawl.
Death closed shut lives
Lives death closed shut
Shut lives death closed
Closed shut lives death
Just a quick feeble effort, good idea Michael I may have to try writing Edilettes.
Good artwork.
They do tax the mind - in my case when they can find it 🙂 🙂
Phew that was hard..... and forget reading it out loud! But what a pretty name for a girl! Edillette!
Yes it does sound good - should I take out copyright? Thanks Lorna
Erm, this may be similar to 'Peter Piper picked......'. And what is a peck of pickled pepper? Me brain is pickled, I know that much! lol. And how's that evening?!
It's a unit of dried weight but since pickled peppers aren't dry Peter Piper was obviously under some sort of delusion.i Four pecks make a bushel perhaps he was chasing the girls .
Michael,
A great EDILLETTE!
Really enjoyed reading it!
Excellent artwork!
It’s making me think of a snow covered desolate area!
Hope you’re feeling okay!

Thanks Laura - still a bit sore and another week before stitches are removed but otherwise getting better each day. Must say that I\'m getting quite bored being stuck indoors but will go far first walk around the Village in the morning to see the Remembrance Day celebrations - our Local Pub is covered in poppies. We also have a Remembrance Garden which is also equally decorated.
That first walk sounds awesome! Enjoy 😊
Michael,
This just came to mind...

Great but Line 4 'Ended Questions answered open' missing - But you've just got to post it - tomorrow?
Ok...
I understand the correction!
I just checked the rules. I noticed line4 is really line3 and line4 (bcda)is missing in the rules.
Please take a look at the rules.
I will post it tomorrow.
Perhaps we can post them as a fusion poem.
Yes I like the idea of a fusion - I'll sort it out later.
