Notes About The Poem
A valedictory poem that's rich in rhythm and percussive beats from beginning to end.
A Farewell In Short-Writ Rhymes
These rhymes, which flow and beat,
must throb with iambic stress
to this line and repeat
the measure, more or less.
They must have lines and rows
that move with good meter,
to feet of highs and lows
that's nice, tight, and neater.
They, too, must be short-writ
with not so lengthy song,
so restless ears hear it
in notes which don't prolong.
(Albeit, nonetheless!)
'Tis good to end these rhymes
with a farewell address:
"Adieu! More pleasant times?"
I ask—so, please, nod “Yes!”
