The Ruba'Iyat of Creteil Lake: Part Thirty-Four

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake : Part Thirty-Four Sea Anne-Anne Queen in between managed to make it to the Chief’s car Helped by five Robo-Cops she charmed with fine-timbered voice of star The Chief (C ) feared being quoted in his official capacity : « From an anonymous source close to the SCCOO ! » Urged Galapago Rani : « O ! Anonymous Chief ! Be assured ! » As the camera focussed on his reflection on glass blurred. « Could you give us first the composition of the arching SCCOO ? » « The Chief Executive heads the Crisis Council of the forces armed, « But immediate decision approval remains in the hands of CS. » « Who else ? » « Yes, co-opted members include various ministers : Interior, Defence, Transport, Justice and Foreign Affairs. » What about the Prefect and Mayor ? » « Only as consultants ! » « Yes, as Mayor and Chairman of the Regional Authority He has been made head of the Department of Casualty : His Ambulance Corps must by foot first to the Metro du Lac Till Metro Echat thence to the hospital of the Faculty. » « Jesus ! That’ll be the Day ! Since coming to this terrain Several of the media fraternity suffer from broken brain ! All cobbled paths and pavements in these surrounds make for pitfalls ! » « Besides, » interpolated the Chief, « if it weren’t for rain ! » © T. Wignesan – Paris, 2014

Top of the Morning to you, Linda! I don't blame you, at least, not yet. The form is my own - if you haven't guessed by now - and if you began reading from line one. The poem now stands at 700 lines of 14 or 15 syllables each, give or take one or two. I have two ruba'i in PS with notes. Those could be of some help. I arrogate the ruba'i form to serve my own purposes in what looks like an "epic" in the making. EGW. Wignesan And THANKS!
