Best On Writing And Wordslanguage Poems
Come walk with me ,around my rural clime,
We'll pen verse , posey and lyrics that rime
A heroic couplet, after Thomas Wyatt (1503-42) ,the pivotal poet of th English language who
used over 70 stanza forms,is credited with inroducing from Italy ther terza rima,ottava rima
and the sonnet to the English language and the leagacy of his keynote poulter's measure
12/14 syllabic form.
The vernacular language that I use
Slips into my writing also and can confuse
Those from other countries and regions
Sometimes my language is macabre
For I slaughter the English language
From the teachings of my upbringing
And also from the family and associations
My language patterns have taken formation
I wish that the zephyr of higher learning
Could sweep across and saturate me
With an instant knowledge of a broader
Vocabulary and grammar so that writing
Would become an eloquent and easy
Part of my life gracing me with flowery
Words that would bless each heart
That reads my work consuming each morsel
