  • Re: what would you say?

    A quip and a parody -- and a parody that rhymes, at least at times? By MaryAnn? Now I know that Dante's Hell is suffering an ice age. In fact I think it's moved and taken residence in one of those trans-Neptunian dwarf planets discovered in recent years. Between this and the excellent Tuesday Poem, I can't come to any other ''rational'' ...

  • Re: Quoth the Raven, "Nevergood"

    boody: I liked it. I always wonder when the posters so laboriously choose to express contempt for a poem by writing a bad one. Maybe because they think it's beneath contempt? As for me, even when I write a poem in response to what I think is a bad poem, I try to do my best within my limits. I hope I succeeded this time. The subject matter ...

  • "Hermit" parody: Better late than never?

    (Parodist sets his Yamaha keyboard to harmonica voicing and his stereo to playing a recording of surf on the seashore, then begins...) Crab:You've written some lines(In a po'm without rhymes)How I'm living my prosaic life.I'm not ancient Greek,Nor an arthopod geek --Just seeking some freedom from strife. (Fraysters in unison, sounding rather ...

  • A "cheesy" attempt

    I think that I shall never seeA product lovely as a Brie.Most cheeses that I love are hard,And some (when stale) are like a shard;But Brie invites a quick devourJust moments 'fore one takes a shower,Or (placed on crackers) loving glance-S 'fore it's sent toward one's pants.When soaking in cafe au lait(In Ile de France), Brie makes a wayAs ...

  • Nice!

    ''Not seeing the forest for the trees''...good one! Small suggestion with regard to meter: I think that I shall never seeThat tree as it was meant to beUnless I comprehend at allThe forest where that tree may fall Here possibly informal grammar (in the last line) is less a fault than not sticking to the exact poetic foot. Nash stuck to it ...

  • Re: Gloom, despair and agony on me...

    Foobs:This is gonna be a tough one... Sometimes I feel like the justification for these poems is to make this hard for me. I mean, it can't be that someone looked at it and thought it was GOOD... Hi Foobs, Nice of you to show up! I hope you liked my little parody, if not the poem it's based on. Not understanding (as yet, and maybe never) ...

  • Gloom, despair and agony on me...

    (Fraysters:) Gloom, despair, and agony on me!(Ohhhh!)Deep, dark depression, excessive misery!(Ohhhh!)If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!(Ohhhh!)Gloom, despair, and agony on me! (Parodist:) Our weekly Tuesday Poet isn't sure of what to write;It's almost if we Fraysters have given him a fright!He's neither time nor energy to ...

  • "Write, write it again..."

    Foobs: Two weeks in a rowI've been holding my nosewhile you sang the week's poems praise;Are you going softor is my palate offshould I worship or tremble for grace? Oh, oh I'm perplexedand left by this state feeling vexedhas left turned to rightare we calling day nightor is it my taste that's suspect? (Parodist replies in song:) Don't ...

  • Re: Visiting the Real Sonnet

    I think ''the Ranch'' deserves a second look.Its body lacks the clothing of a rhyme;Its grammar scheme will fit in no one's book;Yet follow it, and all is clear in time.There's nothing used that really shouldn't be(Unless the breaking of some rules's a ''prob'');You ought not be a dog and ''Ranch'' a tree;For Pinsky's Picks, this one's a decent ...
