Loglimerhyme is Larry Jennings' metrical variant of the standard iambic of Logarhymes. In place of the usual 442442-iamb meter, he utilizes a limerick-like pattern of 332332 pulses in each sextet (6-line) stanza. The rhyme pattern is that of the standard Logarhyme: AABCCB. My own dubbing of Larry's variant as 'Loglimerhyme' has met with his approval.

Here is his first (so far as I know) such creation:


Loglimerhyme #1

If that pie were mincemeat, I would choke
though I know it's enjoyed by some folk,
never been one of them.
Coconut or pecan on the beach
sounds quite nice. Think I'd have one of each
or key-lime. On a whim,

I have tried other country's cuisine
with delight, though some were garish green
made from sea-weed, I guess.
Others curried and spiced with, "who knows?"
They were delicacies I suppose
but not mine. I confess

to a penchant for food from the south.
Etouffee or gumbo in my mouth
is like Heaven on earth.
Though from Texas, I like chili too
and a big plate of good barbecue
which might add to my girth.

Thank the Lord for my genetic past
which made my metabolic rate fast;
sedentary I'm not.
I work harder now that I'm retired.
It's as if gardening has conspired
that I not go to pot.

After a several-riposte discussion between Larry and myself, this is my own first Loglimerhyme:


Loglimerhyme Approbation

Loglimerhymes seem really fun;
though surely for not everyone,
so I offer you mine.
I certainly do understand
and certify your fledgling brand;
it's deliciously fine.

Iamb sure that you'll note that iambs
are required in pure Logarhyme brand
yet your variant is
but a breath of fresh air to my ears
so I hope this allays any fears
and you won't let it fizz.

Here's hoping others will join in on the fun!

Patience pays but in what sort of coin
'cause I'm not really sure that we're goin'
to be blessed with success.
That, in time, will be shown when those few
who have joined us are no longer new
and get more; please, not less.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
