Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Ottava rima

Notes About The Poem

This is a follow up to my limerick, "Ottava Rima".

From an idea proposed by Kim Rodrigues.

This is my first Ottava Rima.

Limerick

Nice girl Ottava Rima knew her place
but in her very private room did write
a limerick which in this special case
was bluer than the dark mask of midnight.
Could she read it with a pious straight face?
She'd have to; Palm Sunday was in plain sight.

She went to church and read her naughty verse.
The priest died of shock, she laughed til she burst.

Chris Green June 22, 2017 at 4:56 PM Now here for part two. Another humorous offering my friend. Really nice. Oh and get this, the captcha to post this comment was NUN. : ) Chris Green June 22, 2017 at 5:23 PM Oh, it's the 3 letter/number validation code on soup that you have to type in to leave a comment. I was always told it was called a captcha. Dale Gregory Cozart June 22, 2017 at 5:05 PM Thanks, Chris. I googled captcha and it looks like a good thing unfortunately I can't access it. And I'm kind of tech-challenged anyway.

Andrea Dietrich June 15, 2017 at 8:59 PM oh this is so clever, Dale. I really enjoyed how you used this form! Dale Gregory Cozart June 15, 2017 at 9:22 PM Thanks, Andrea. This is my first Ottava Rima. I thought it had 8 syllables per line. When I learned it was ten I had to go back and add on!

Daniel Turner June 15, 2017 at 8:01 PM Sounds like she killed it, whatever she wrote. Love the dark humor, Dale:) Dale Gregory Cozart June 15, 2017 at 9:22 PM Thanks, Daniel.

Darlene De Beaulieu June 14, 2017 at 7:59 PM Hello Dale,it does make me wonder what it was that she wrote,to shock the priest to die. I like this rhyme.
