Occasional Poetry - 12. Kitchen Metre and Metre Made.
Written in response to Poetry Prompt #4, Metre 1. Originally appeared in the Live Poets Thread, which everyone should follow. Just saying.
I made mistakes, I know; you can bear them, though.
I made mistakes, I know; you can bear them, though.
Kitchen Metre
Brown the meat, garlic beat, pepper grind, onion slice,
Wash my hands, open cans, oops! Forgot, carrots dice.
Meat reserve, lost my nerve; oh don't cry, onions fry.
Add all in, simmer, grin; pasta boil, end of toil.
Metre Made
An anapest is rarely best,
an iamb is much nicer.
A trochee? Mustn't use it, lest
you need your dactyl slicer.
I get de-spondee in my car
(it's not a catalexis),
my amphibrach sounds like catarrh,
it gives one catalepsis.
I've spent the day and most the night
with poetry satiric,
I warred with odes most erudite,
but won a vic'try phyrric.
With thanks to AC and Tim, always.
