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

Thanks, Daniel. I appreciate your starting a new thread with my Loglimerhyme and thanks again for the handy title for the form. Here, from the other forum, is my answer to your last post.
Let it fizz? Well gee-whiz, I had thought there was interest in what I had wrought as a jest or a game some might play. Anyway, I liked yours. Flattering emulation ensures some brief fame, but the name
which you coined feels just right. Thanks so much! The Loglimeryme title, as such shall be known by a few who might try it. Deny it exists? It can not be undone. I'll persist but there's only we two
who have written such stanzas. I'll say I'm enamored in the weirdest way but I won't push this form. Logarhymes are done with the iamb so I'll follow the rules like a lamb though I do hate the "norm".
Maybe if a new thread were to start others who break the rules might impart their ideas in this way. But the minimal interest I see in all forums just convinces me Loglimerymes won't play.

Well, with Alan rejoining our crew, let's expect that he'll too have a brew to pour in our cup. His creative bent joined with his drive could bring us a buzzing great hive... bring our membership up!

It's not membership. We have a lot, but participation there is not near enough to survive. Even though we have multiple posts in this forum, there's too many ghosts and not one of them strive
or attempt a small crit anywhere. Even more, they're not willing to share any words with the few hardy denizens whom we both know. They can't read our admonishments, so I just don't have a clue.

Much of what we write stays bottled here where we diddle around, it is clear, and most don't join in. You are right that so few here have shared much of late, and you have your soul bared, and there's surely no din
in the forums, where once active giving our help to each other brought living inside of the threads. I myself seldom visited there for too long; now the cupboard is bare, and I really have dreads.
But I'm trying to write now again more consistently; maybe the yen of my serious muse will return; I've a hope that it will and perhaps with an end to the chill we'll be lighting a fuse.

I refuse to go lightly and will, like the engine that could, climb the hill to announce from the top that the members who joined here should git off the pot, start to post, not just sit while a few mind the shop.
It's a forum where thoughts are exchanged to improve; critiqued post rearranged to help polish a gem; not a place where someone with a whip made them write. A small verse or a quip wouldn't hurt one of them.
Though they came of free will and signed up they have left us a half empty cup and the contents are cold. I would say just remove every name, clean the slate. They're the ones whom I blame, so cull them from the fold.

I'm afraid that is out of our hands; we do not have the requisite wands for a zap or bong. But we can stir the forums again with a little attention and pain... or perhaps a song.
When a friend or two visits once more we won't need to admonish, implore... silent songs will plead for encouragement, help or critique and perhaps one of us will then pique interaction we need.

Interaction is just what we need, even if it's BS. Plant a seed and who knows, you'll endow us a new flower show that expands. It beats what we have now; a few hands and a rusty old plough
which, at one time was pulled by a horse. We don't have one right now but of course it's now dead. Though we beat... it is to no avail and we're tired of cajoling members who've conspired to shut down; take a seat.
So I'd ask those who came and then went on their way, have a say or relent; for your absence is felt. All we need are a few seeds to plant and I don't want to hear that you can't share the few you've been dealt.

Your words are heartfelt. Even I have lost my poetic muse. Social media seems to be where folks hang these days playing Farmville etc... SIGH. Are other poetry forums active? I shall send a message to the members - and Larry - you're right, maybe it's time for me to start deleting at least the 'bronze' members? Back to bed - I've been very sick for many days. Hugs Lori

Hi Lori,
I'm sorry you feel bad. I didn't mean to make it worse by complaining about the lack of participation in the forums but attendance has become very sparse. Hoped you liked my new creation. The name comes from Daniel.
Larry

Gosh Larry - no worries. Actually, I am glad to see that you, Daniel, Eric, Alan and some others are making a go here. It encourages me to particpate again. Perhaps I will even attempt to write one of your new forms right here. I did manage to purge all the members that I previously had labeled as Bronze members (meaning inactive for some time). So that reduced our member count by half. I will also plan to send an email to the membership. Keep on doing what you are doing - I am always reading - especially the limerick thread, ! Please pass this on. -Lori

Our Loglimerhymes ain't for complaint so I hope that our ramblings don't taint the sense of this thread. We hope Lori will soon become well; when she has, I am sure she will tell that she's out of bed! When she writes to the others, we hope that they'll join us betimes. We won't mope if it takes them some time. But it's always a joy when they come writing DUM de de DUM de de DUM with or not with rhyme! deLighting in Lori's response.... and her following our Limericks too!!! ~ Daniel

I’m so glad Lori came here to read our Loglimerhymes; I must concede that I thought we were toast here a MM. The Forums were dead but new life and activity spread from the bones of this ghost.
Now the “newbies”, who aren’t, hit the ground with their pens and their thoughts flashing ‘round tearing cobwebs apart. Though there’s not enough of them as yet there will soon be much more. You can bet that we’ve got a great start
with new folks from all over who share and it seems that they really do care with participation in these threads. The more minds who join in will make magic with us and begin a brand new creation.

Whether new or renewal of old, we will welcome them all to the fold as they join us here. We're encouraged as friends have joined in leaving poems and crits in the bins. It's allayed our fear!

Though our fear of demise is allayed there is something which has me dismayed for it seems there’s a lack of critiquing times two for each post. Give and take is the jam on our toast but some are holding back.
It’s okay in the forums like these where we practice and hone our disease till they write our obit. I’d just like to see more poets bring expertise to what needs polishing and help a little bit.

Have a Bite
I see my admonitions were vague for this post has contracted the plague though it’s not even sick. Yes, it’s different, strange and quite new so the reader might think or construe it is all just a trick but it’s not. Just a new way to write Logarhymes and Limericks but you might mix them up or confuse which is which; with a similar bent. They’re a marriage of forms which was sent from my sweet little muse. Try it out like a song you don’t know. Have it dance off your tongue, let it grow into word symphonies. If you don’t, I’ll just prod you until you give up. It’s a bite, not a meal and I’m sure it will please!

I’ll just push the old Loglimerhyme to the top and perhaps in the climb someone else will take note that the form is so easy to write. Even though the core message is trite causing no one to gloat
it’s a fun exercise. Free the brain; let it dance in your skull but remain with tongue tucked in the cheek. You won’t savor the flavor unless you step up. Go ahead, make a mess or its future looks bleak.

Who could mess up a Loglimerhyme? It's not hard if you just keep the time with a Limerick beat. If you're watching your feet, you will trip, so get out there and try; let 'er rip! You won't fall on your seat....
well you may, but if so, what the heck, 'cause we know that you won't break your neck; it's your pride you may bruise. Get back up; throw yourself in the dance. Soon you'll laugh 'til you near pee your pants! It's a game you can't lose.

A loose game? Bet you can’t write just one. It’s addictive and oh so much fun to try different things so instead, pen a Loglimerhyme if you have any talent or time but make sure your verse sings
or at least keeps the rhythm intact. Oh, I’d guess you just think I’m a hack in a Logarhyme world; I had too many words for limericks and I threw in a few just for tricks. You’d be wrong, for I hurled
a new gauntlet to challenge the brain in the face of those who would remain walking in the same rut. Don’t you know that your steps excavate? Just step out before it’s much too late and you’re up to your butt!
