Timothy Hicks Date: 6/21/2013 12:18:00 AM Footles are beyond my writing capabilities... it's for sure a challenge to rhyme, be witty, relevant, and still do it all in just four syllables! You, however, have gotten this down to a tee. I think the steel cone in stone was my favorite... awesome job! Login to Reply

Isaiah Zerbst Date: 6/8/2013 6:35:00 PM Excellent pieces! It looks like you have the whole Camelot drama in a nutshell! I bet it took quite a while to think of all these; but I see you are really good at it. Are the iambic or half iambic ones still called a footle? Login to Reply
