I like it. I keep thinking that if I received an envelope full of ashes I would think it was anthrax or something. *shudders*
sorry I haven’t written for so long 😳

yes and no 😀 it depends on which kind of poems we prefer each time the rhymes have rules, but not neccecarily poems, there are alot of rhymes the most common are:
ferskeytlur (four something)
Dragons here and Druids there
Dangerous and scary
Ents are woody, Elves are rare
Endlessly are merryþrÃliður (three something
[u]Sometimes I wonder what Settlement means
Showing my ignorrant top piece
Dark is my mane so, and Delightful greens
Dreary and skin (re)mind me of geeseLimra (wtf??? no Idea how to translate)
I went to work right this morning
hoping that this day wont be boring
tripped by my toe
I want you to know
I rolled down the stairs without warningkrosshenda (cross- rhyme, no logic just a brain teaser you can read it in two ways and the poem still is the same)
Wildly truly Windstone fan
truly loving dragons might
windstone dragons lovely sigh
fan might sigh truely[/u]The third one probably translates as limerick. A limerick has five lines, with three metrical feet in the first, second and fifth lines and two metrical feet in the third and fourth lines. A variety of types of metrical foot can be used, but the most typical are the amphibrach (a stressed syllable between two unstressed syllables) and the anapaest (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable). The rhyme scheme is usually AABBA.
Limericks are frequently witty or humorous, and sometimes obscene with humorous intent.
The following example of a limerick is of anonymous origin.
The lim’rick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I’ve seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.*Information taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(poetry)
Ooh, I like limericks. I want to try one! 😆 And thank you Tint. It gives me something to do when I am feeling froggy.
I once had a terrible feeling,
I shivered and looked at the ceiling
as time went by
I looked at the sky
They’d stolen my house, and my key-ringI just had a terrible morning
the accidents came without warning
I burnt the bread
so I got sad
and ate all the coal-bits with dreadingmy hair was all in a mess
changed a diaper and guess
the terrible two
a horrible goo
all over the place, what a messtoo late to the daycare with son
too late to the workplace my bun
but bun means bread
the bread was dead
I burnt it this morn’ that was dun( a true story of a difficult , and typical day for me )
((unlikely stories ar likely to happen to me, fortunately, I have a sense of humor for this, which kinda makes my days))Ok, here is my limerick…
I am feeling so down and disgusted.
My checking account I have busted.
But when the dragons roll in
I’ll forgive this small sin
and the figurines all will get dusted. 😀Im sitting here bored off my bum.
Excitement is good I want some.
I dont like my work
and my boss is a jerk
and i’ve ran out of all of my Rum.My cute little nose i’ve been picking.
My fingers I then have been licking.
My boogies wont flick.
Wont come off with a stick.
These suckers are sure good at sticking.*Dies of boredom*
I lay in my grave limbs a’twitchin.
To do something fun i’ve been itchin.
But I died of boredom,
Is anything more dumb?
I really must stop all this bitchin.
