Ron Padgett's rhymes for bouts - rimes.
Teachers and Writers Handbook Of Poetic Forms. 2nd ed.
tanned, jump, fanned, lump, reading, lawn, misleading, yawn ,yo-yo ,death, no-no, breath, France pants
a sonnet for dverse
sun spots and cancer,forget being tanned
white skin it is, fashion - take a big jump
will lie in shade under palm fronds green fanned
exercise more or turn into a lump
will take up new hobby called speed reading
get up early to mow weeds and the lawn
set all things straight and not be misleading
pay attention in lectures, smile not yawn
stop bouncing around like a crack-ed yo-yo
think seriously of topics like death
keep views to one's self,opinions a no-no
forget bigots, don't bother, save your breath
treat yourself to a holiday in France
waist band bursts - Ah, fine French food and tight pants
Ah.. yes going to france and eat till you burst.. great thought.. :-) sounds like a new-year's resolution.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you chose Ron Padgett's rhymes. Works beautifully. A burst waistband sadly a traditional souvenir from France...
