Thread: Pogonophobia

I learned a new poetry form this morning: the double dactyl.

Lines 1,2,3,5,6 and 7 are made of two dactyls (BAH-bah-bah). Lines 4 and 8 have one dactyl followed by a single syllable, and they rhyme. Line 1 is two nonsensical rhyming dactyls, Line 2 is a person's name, and one of the lines in the second stanza has to be a single word.

Here's my first attempt:

Pogonophobia
Fuzzily Wuzzily
Benjamin Gib-a-ney
Grew him a beard which was
Coming in fine.


Then he found out he had
Pogonophobia.
He can shave his, but he'd
Best not touch mine.

verily verily
fun hee hee

Enjoyed it.
I still have to get the hang of meter.
