First a letter, then a word
and now a sentence thought...
Has in fact a start occurred
from which some verse be wrought?

Once a stanza now be writ
let's locate das and dums.
Slash and dash a form, be it.
When filled it sings, it strums.

Rhyme?, it must, if j g d's.
A scheme be now assigned.
Vow, must I, I'll them appease
or I shall be maligned.

Yore's the time I must promote,
our taste today will fade.
Milton, make this boat to float
Don't rain on my parade.

Windmills may be ready ploys
for questers just like me.
Poems come from men, not boys.
You may, or not, agree.

Dear Don,
Responses so soon are starting to scare me. Perhaps for those yet to read my ditty I should explain.
I really do follow that protocol. In anything I write not borrowed from 3 or 4 years ago, you can be sure my scanscion has gotten more of my attention than anything else.
Most nowdays go for message first, but I make a form, fill it with words and might just be as surprized as the reader.
Not sure what you mean by gender problems unless I need additional lines for ladies not maids?
Make is there as I'm imploring Milton to stand by me as he's a bard of yore.

Dear Don,
You know me (my style) better than anyone else here!

Dear All,
This recipe is not assumed to result in a gourmet meal for most. I'd be more popular if this were 1932, when I was born. I just didn't change with the times.

Cheers to all,     jgd
