My GA Writing Prompts - 9. Fruity-Poetry Prompt 4 Response

Berry me, merry me, black, red or blue

Old vine me, fine wine me, pour nothing new

Some peach trees, some pear trees, either will suit

In pantries, on pastries, fruit for a fruit

The best I could figure is I’ve turned out a trimeter poem wherein each line has two feet in amphibrach trisyllables followed by a choriambic tetrasyllable foot. Couplets with 1-2 and 3-4. There is an exception to the pattern in the first line which has dactyls instead of amphibrachs. Poetry may just require a level of discipline and conformity that's not in my nature.

The prompt required a regular meter, probably because it is easier to manage for a first try. The real melody however, comes with variety and a twist. I love it.
