Timothy Hicks June 21, 2013 at 12:18 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!

Eileen Manassian June 11, 2013 at 8:42 PM Wow....wow....wow...Loved this!!! Never tried this form....you make it look easy...Good one!!!

Painted Hunter June 10, 2013 at 6:23 AM Ha...I wonder if a knight ever said during a siege, "Damn, what a hassle!"...I bet so...;) This was fun!

Cathy Moore June 9, 2013 at 5:43 PM very interesting

Christine Phillips June 9, 2013 at 2:48 PM Nice piece. Fun to read.I like how you play with words and make them bled

Isaiah Zerbst June 8, 2013 at 6:35 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?

Poet Tacito June 8, 2013 at 8:16 AM Trying something different, awesome! :) This was a fun read!
