At dVerse yesterday I saw Sam's challenge to write what is called a square poem. Six lines of six words, the first word of each line reading like the first line across. Check out his instructions here. I tried it simply because it seemed impossible. The following is not earth-shaking poetry, but it gave my brain cells a bit of a workout, not always a good thing :)
Hear, pray tell, this bitter truth:
pray not for unending youth.
Tell Pan: soft and pouting sighs,
This is certainly not too wise.
Bitter but better than foolish lies:
Truth shining bravely in one's eyes.
Love it! Like an acrostic on steroids!
ReplyDeleteOh, good work, Sherry. It looks impossible to me. I've got to go out now to run some errands, but I have a feeling I'm going to try this, just for the heck of it, when I get back.
