Sir Edmund Clerihew Bentley
passed away, so he sent me.
He wrote of gumshoe detectives,
and eschewed dumb invectives.
Reimagine the future
honor the past
Live in the moment
first ever last
Change the perspective
fences destroyed
Polar invectives
cursed to employ
The baby and bathwater
image du jour
Becoming the instant
your lens is secured
Honor the future
reimagine the past
Live beyond either
— your essence recast
(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)
Fun writing forms - a fascination.
Some might end in assassination;
others, invectives, wild gyrations.
Voila! perfection… titillations!

A Droigneach is an Irish quatrain with a bunch of additional "rules" regarding end rhyme length, inner rhymes / cross rhymes, alliteration, start/end sound. This hits most of those, perturbs a few. Just messing around this morning...
Little bird sings and the big one croaks
One is happy, the other is rile
If you hear them, you don't have to be coaxed
To enjoy this morn for awhile
The garbage truck took the litter away
All the remnants of food and stuff
So the big bird had a point to say
Some invectives, the most rough
But the little bird has another view
Enjoying the pale winter sun
She is singing madly for me and you
While the day hasn't yet began.
Storms are brazen, often rude,
Lighting the sky with invectives
Of white-blue light terrible.
The rains carp the submissive
Ground wearing it so slowly
Down into curves, mud.
The thunder stomps through
Heaven’s empty rooms above.
It knows the children tremble
Beneath, conjuring punishments
Through tall silken crowns
Where venomous rodents erupt.
In boredom, the storm sulks
Away.
In time,
The rodents and children trade places.
