Thread: Repeated Rhyme Challenge

Thanks for the spelling lesson {lol}Your little ditty,was really witty...peace...Jul

Only you, and you ... and you over there,
can help me out of my mourning.
I have a big hole that Mama can't sew
like she has ever since my borning.

Alas, only you, or you two perhaps,
can set me a new smile forming,
and fill the emptiness in my thread,
by reading my Blackberry Morning.

Because it's an actual recognized form, I'm going to post my villanelle in the Structured Verse board. http://www.writingforums.com/structu...ml#post1469527

I agree. I'm going to post my poems of this type in the Structured Verse board, also, since I do best with this type.

unwrap the tut
Egypt's lust
a land of hush
treasures in dust
revealed in custs
legends are busts
pyramids trust
in vain is burst
revealing lush
bodies and mud
dynasties fuss
in time and such
unrest is gust.

Space

The concept of space
Is progressing apace
We need a good base
To call our home-place
The whole human race
Can make a good case
To put aside the disgrace
We've made of this place
With an effort we can surely face
The steps of our ancestral trace
And return the planet to an eden, worst case?
