The Clerihewer of the Fewer

If you orginally read this then, you would have seen it was a villanelle, actualy same it was the poem Hope, which I posted before this one. A very silly copy/paste error that was pointed out. Anyway fixed but original was too long now it's two poems. Thanks for reading. He know returns the clerihewer of the fewer Throwing his poetry soup idols in the sewer With these naughty little lines of rhyme It's MOSTLY in fun time after time I think this is very long overdue Of these I have written quite a few Technically this one is out of form With the rest I'll get back to the norm I don't know what happened to our King of the quatrain He's writing couplets and rhymes, but I won't complain Just hopefully he doesn't ever do a free verse Or I may have to break the rules and curse Speaking of Jack the Quatrain King and cursing He has an admirer of his poetry that's been rehearsing I say that because who leaves comments before the coffee's even hot I have my suspicions that Mr. Spivey is a robot Once more with our King to what level does he make me stoop I left a comment for a poem that contained in the title, Betty Boop But haha my comment was the first to post Too bad my house still reeks of burnt toast I have always written alone, but now enterred a contest of group With a green eyed girl that once wrote a poem about dog poop I just had a little fun with it, but never asked her why Because no one else would write about it was her reply No if you're going to enter a teamwork contest do it with a Star For surely you'll have a lot more chances to go very far Of a thousand different jokes I could make I'm going to leave it at that for my soul's sake She seems like a sweet Welsh girl, but I think she has some fire inside I think if she get's mad the best tatic would be to run and hide Hopefully I won't let my big mouth get me into that situation I'll let my words do all of my confrontation I have always included the great PD in these But I haven't talked to her in a while and couldn't ask her please I won't take liberty at this time, I will first reflect Really it's just a statment of respect

this is very nice, Wayland. but it sure looks like a villanelle to me. I think you confused the name of the form. Clerihew is very short and humorous. this is haunting and using repeated lines , like a lovely villanelle
