From the Logarhyme "poetic forms practice" thread in Karnak Crossing click here:

Control

The time has come, it's true, I'll need
to take control, and then proceed
to write a post
that fits the bill and pleases me.
It takes some thought, but soon I see
past writer's ghost

(which tortures me). I strive to reach
coherent rhymes, and not beseech
the ones who ask
for clarity. Apologize?
I've tried and then technologized
the bloody task.

It seems in this chaotic world
where change is slow: my muse was hurled
without a net--
mind's eye quicksand. Soon comes reprieve:
I break the trap, grin and retrieve
game, match and set. minniemouse.gif

Hi Lori

Just noticed this one - first in this forum for 2013. Hooray! PartyFavor.gif

I love the logarhyme form - one of my favourites. I like the topic here too, since my muse isn't working too well these days. ghostface.gif

I do like your use of enjambment, which always keeps R&M more interesting imo. pharoah2.gif

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!

Hi Snow, Snowflake.gif

Yup - first posting since reopening this forum. Please DO join in! cheer.gif

Larry is challenging me in that thread in Karnak to respond and I owe him two at this writing, LOL.gif! They are fun - and I find it easier to follow his end line words to help get me going. writersblock.gif

Glad you enjoyed! See you there and here? hal.gif

Cheers,

Hi there Peggy,

Thanks for stopping in! YES, please DO! Now that the non-crit is open again perhaps you can start here?

Cheers,

Hi Lori,

What's not to like?
A snappy logarhyme AND a poem about poetry and that contrary muse.
I love it.

Keith, the happy chappy

Gee thanks Keith! dance.gif

We have a 'fun' thread going over in Karnak (at the think above) where I try to use the same end words from what Larry writes. Check it out! cheer.gif

Cheers,
