Gershon Wolf Poet Monorhyme

A Friend's Rebuff

O, why's my love not quite enough
You say that things are super-rough
You have to be insanely tough
And turn your voice up extra-gruff

No time to be a soft creampuff
Solution's made of sterner stuff --
I pray you'll hear this friend's rebuff
  ~ True love is always THE right stuff



        (Iambic Tetrameter)

Sandra Adams September 15, 2019 at 6:21 PM i wish i could pen in such perfect meter, great poem my friend :) hugs Gershon Wolf September 15, 2019 at 7:05 PM When you wish upon a star, Sandra... It's time to wish upon a star and try some of these rhymed/metered forms. You'll enjoy the challenge! Cheers, Gershon

Tom Cunningham September 15, 2019 at 5:11 AM Couldn't agree more, you write iambic stuff with such ease Gershon. Tom Gershon Wolf September 15, 2019 at 11:08 AM I'm glad that iambic looks easy. That's good new for me. By the way, it's actually not that hard. Trust me: If I can do it... Cheers, Gershon

Alexis Y. September 15, 2019 at 12:09 AM Hi Gershon, I really liked the message within this write. The last two lines sums up this piece perfectly. I wish I could write in "Iambic Tetrameter". Well done. Good night my friend:-) Alexis Gershon Wolf September 15, 2019 at 11:07 AM Thank you for your kind words, Alexis... It's not so hard to write in Iambic tetrameter: 8 syllables per line; each line has this beat: da-DA da-DA da-DA da-Da. Give it a whirl. :) gw
