Delysia Hendricks Poet Rhyme

Tribute To My Fave Poet

Emotions diverse
'pon reading your verse
laughing and crying spontaneous
face a-beaming
tears a-streaming
joyful and sad smile-utaneous

My head is swollen
my heart all but stolen
wending across the vast pond
may stars shine my smiles
on you o'er the miles 
of whom I'm mutually fond

I'm honored;  moreover
positively bowled over
by your verse with acumen penned
of untold pleasure
your writ I will treasure
crack poet and much-cherished friend

TO TERRELL MARTIN, A WORDSMYTHE OF NOTE

T Wignesan May 2, 2013 at 1:08 PM Hi Licia! How are you doing? For one who has not read Burns, I must say you're his namesake. The more I read you, the more I'm convinced you're using a variation of the Burns stanza, coupled with that of the Limerick; or rather the "standard Habbie". Take, for instance, your pub-crawling song, especially your pirate speak counter-balanced with Burns's Scottish (insecure) dialect. Good for you! As I said somewhere else, your rhythms are specifically sprung on the iamb. EGW. Wignesan
