Reason A. Poteet Poet Verse

Beware the Ides of March

Threat? "Julius, cool your jets."
an ides of March overdraft.
The day to settle one’s debts -
when sixty "friends" gave Caesar the shaft.

Andrea Dietrich March 13, 2022 at 2:56 PM this is So clever. I really enjoyed it, Reason. I wonder what you edited!! congrats in my contest Reason A. Poteet March 13, 2022 at 6:35 PM I had used the wrong rhyme scheme. I first used AAAB and changed it to ABAB. Lindley did not specify a pattern for rhyme; but I followed the suit of his examples.
