Trying Something New

Limerick Gimmerick

Tried double-dactyls while
Fearing the worst.

He's used to anapest
(Dactyls reversed).

Double Dactyls For Donald Trump

Covidy Covidy
Donald the President
Stood on the balcony
Out of his mind

Muttering matters most
Incomprehensible
Still looking beautiful
Lit from behind

Dactyls and Elephants

Dactyls are metrical
Feet that are named after
Fingers with three little
Parts like the knuckles that
Lie in a pattern of
Stress like these sentences:

'Jealously murmuring
Elephants quietly
Sob in their handkerchiefs.'

Feet that are fingers -
How odd!

Dactyl Mcwhirtle

Poetry, throw-a-three
Dactyls for you and me
Six silly bulls, I see
All in a field!

Myrtle McWhirtley
This is the life for me
No silly names, I see
Less junk to wield.

Dactylly Practical
Superfantastical
Equally Whimsical
More Flexibly

So dactyls or whirtles?
Just tighten your girdles
Throw down some poetry
Effortlessly!

Tortoise and Haradactyl

Rabbit brags
crazily;
Tortoise plods
lazily.

Rabbit gets
sleepy, see.
Tortoise wins
Easily.

Work ethic
is lacking;
Rabbit gets
shellacking.

Relentless,
forward, there.
T’s out front
by a hare.

Nonfiction
or fable?
Decide if
you’re able.

----------

Using more dactyls seems a good match for the form...
