From the Latin for dancing. It's a french form that's all i know ... ive written two octaves.. enough for today 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are different forms of verse and song from around Europe referred to as ballads. The Scandinavian form, which dates back to medieval times, often contains two refrains, one in the middle and one at the end, though there are Scandinavian medieval ballads that only have the refrain at the end. They’re generally songs with a frightful number of verses (short ones, though) and were meant for dancing. They were a way of passing down stories, folklore, and history in verbal tradition.

Umm, perhaps i am old and what the techies of the family call functionally computer illiterate, but even i know default settings are the fall back for when specific commands are missing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering you had to get used to how your new higher level of Word worked when you got your new laptop, it’s not surprising the default settings thing took a backseat to all that “fun” - yes, I remember your posts about all the “fun” you were having. As yesterday being for squirrel appreciation day? Nope, didn’t hear a peep about that. Yes, the timing does seem a little odd. Maybe, I’ll ask Mr. Google and see what he says. Have be a good day everyone.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did one between reading sections in the textbook. 1 hour ago, MacGreg said: It's 5-7-5-7-7. Is that what you're looking for? Thanks, Mac. It partly does. I should have written down the syllable count, but forgot to like a dumbass. 12 minutes ago, Mikiesboy said: Try poetry soup Thanks, Bro. That helped. Okay... here's my lame-ass attempt at one. No snow on the ground, winter is never that cold. The sand I walk on warmed by the sun, shifts away dreams of winter wonderlands. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
