can you tame the beast
I asked my nieghbourhood priest
so he calls Satan
to our Christmas feast

Hey! Good! I haven't seen anyone do one of these in a while. I need to work on one myself. Time? Where is it?

[wellwisher]

thanks witt -

how about starting one with:

"time - where has it gone"


- also, i found a rhyming website really, really helpful in this exercice

[Dryad]

the music begins
old or young, all start to sing
whirling in the dance
as though feet had wings


and


time- where has it gone
still gaze after you forlorn
one night we both said
and I hate this dawn


this one would work as several stanzas of the mookuka format -  a more sustained piece

[witt]

Very good, D. I haven't seen much activity with this form and I think that it makes for a nice format.

I love the one about music.

[Dryad]

thanks. I think I will return here. A form that is new to me is EXCITING

[witt]

I can't wait to see the next one.

[Dryad]

watch the stars be born
healing for your heart forlorn
hold you in my heart
you make me love's pawn

[elise]

Windswept sands of gold
Where camels are bought and sold
Where pyramids rise
Ancient tales unfold

HEY! elise. Where have you been hiding?? It's great to see you here again. I love your poem!

[elise]

Hey Witt!!!   Thanks so much for missin me!   Sometimes life gets complicated...but I do love the times I can come back and read and share...

[Kay]

there is dust in rain
captured thoughts between refrain
some will feel cleansing
and some will feel pain


 

[elise]

 
Oh run turkey run
the hunter grabbed his shotgun
don't let him catch you
it won't be much fun

[witt]

Super, Kay! I love it.
