dcmarti1 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (Some poet said, "Good writers borrow, great writers steal!" I am trying to be good here.) ========== Awdl byr a thoddaid ( a Welsh form, rhyming and syllabic) With gentle care I read a book But place it back upon the nook When both the moon and wax have ceased to light The night with words I leased. Without fanfare I'll write a line And without tact I'll deem it mine. The page is crisp and not yet creased by crime Of rhyme from thoughts I fleeced. ========== I found the example here helpful: http://www.thepoetsgarret.com/celtic2.html#awlbyr I did not have to have ceased, leased, creased, and fleeced...it just kinda happened.

Benjamin Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 A pleasure to read... and don't worry too much about purloining anything from "great writers" they all took their ideas from earlier writers ad infinitum. It proves a kind of literary evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
