L O G L I M E R H Y M ELoglimerhyme 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 #1If 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. © Larry D Jennings 13 April 2012After a several-riposte discussion between Larry and myself, this is my own first Loglimerhyme: Loglimerhyme ApprobationLoglimerhymes 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 iambsare 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. © MLee Dickens'son 18 April 2012Here's hoping others will join in on the fun! deLightingly, Daniel

If your head has bedighted a fence I suspect that it's at your expense since your body ain't there. Did they cut it off, or did the bull stomp your body so hard that your skull lost most all of its hair?

If you’ve lost all your hair; at least most and it closely resembles a coast of grey sand on the beach don’t go spend all you cash on a car that’s real fast, you are going to far for your youth’s out of reach

Oh, my youth's out of reach -- that's for sure; even mem'ry of it is obscure and I cannot recall almost anything that I had done when my life must have been mostly fun back when I would crawl.

When I learned how to crawl it was back in an old 45 Pontiac; there was plenty of room. Then I crawled on the big roomy seat and pulled up to the windows to meet a new world that went zoom.

suddenly all the world had zoomed past and 69 had been run up the mast; now it's coming back down and that 70's dread will be there freely flapping in sun or moon's air will I soon be facedown?

I will face down my fear very soon like an old western gun fight at noon but no shots will be fired. Just a few minor thoughts to be changed and hope Word will not have rearranged what my muse has inspired.

If my muse had inspired me to write my productions would be far less trite if I wrote anything. but alas all that flows is this fluff while she keeps shouting out, That's enough! so she goes on the wing.

On a wing and a prayer, off she goes to help someone else write modern prose with no rhythm or craft; just a hodgepodge of disjointed thought crammed together in hopes that it’s bought by some minds that are daft.

Yes, some buyers of prose may be daft but the form of my poems is draft and it may so remain; who would buy anything that I write? 'haps it's best that it stay out of sight of book-store domain.

Of a book store’s domain, their intent is to keep room for things yet to print say some very rich guys who control everything that we read so in order for you to succeed grease some palms and arise to the fame you so richly deserve. Feed the kitty and then you’ll observe books that everyone buys.

books that everyone buys will be read by and by unless readers are dead to the words in the books; if they sit on the library shelves they may stay all alone by themselves in the corners or nooks

Nooks and corners are filled with old books and in places where nobody looks except for their I-pad but when batteries die, the screen’s blank and they’re wanting to read, they will thank me for books and be glad.

My four books are for making you glad but they're not written yet, and it's sad 'cause they're all in my head but I cannot remember a word and I know that sounds very absurd but it's true what I've said.

If it’s true what you said about books and your mind holds them all, then it looks like they’ll go to your grave but as memories fade I would say write as much as you can anyway go ahead and be brave.

If a still life’s what you have to show and you’ve really no places to go just set down on your swing in the morning with your favorite cup; “you’ll be there for a while, fill it up” listen to the birds sing.

While you're listening to the birds sing you can dream about having a fling with your wife ere you die; you could cruise to Caribbean isles and carouse walking beaches for miles or just sit there and sigh.

I’ll just sit here and sigh with my wife, maybe whittle a bit with my knife as she frowns at the mess. For we live in seclusion with trees growing back to a height that will please and no one to bring stress.

So you've no one to stress you? Invite me to visit a week; that is quite all you'd need to erupt into panic and throw me on out of your house; there is simply no doubt I'd begin to corrupt.

If corruption begins while you’re here we’ll just send you around to the rear of the house with great speed where we keep a large polled Herford bull that will teach you when push comes to pull with a leash, you can lead.
