Irish I Hadnae Tried: Dechnad-2

Pump up the game, pen is aflame Blame is borne most gladly Forms found, once lost, require reclaim Aim - not blow by badly Stifled at best, stilted arrest Pressed to slide out smoothly Tiptoeing lightly, I'll attest Lest we wake thee, soothly Sure to try more, now out the door Score some freshness infused Mirthful, merry, soaking up stores Mor, I'm mostly amused ---------- Tricky, tricky! My worst (Mor) so far, but also my first so far... The Dechnad Mor: an Irish quatrain with 8a:6b:8a:6b, 2-syllable end rhymes, cross rhymes, and alliteration https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/dechnad-mor-poetic-forms

What wonders there in thee mind, has stifled is thee a wonder, I'm glad you ironed out the mess. Lol, brilliant? Love these challenging forms. One day when I'm in the mood!

I don't know much about the IRish dialect or this form, but this sure looks just fine to me.

They just start out rough. I guess after a while the edges smooth off. Thanks for the read and the comment, Andrea.

Love thee lilting Irish lyricism. If you had the luck of the Irish, you'd want to be English too--John Lennon. May the fair winds blow at your back! Robert

Ha, and no insult intended to the Irish - I'm more than two bits myself! Thanks for the read and the comment, Robert!
