Daniel,
An excellent response  :lol:



Don,

I really was casting no aspertions upon anyone - I really did find the site immensely entertaining, and it brightened a wet morning no end.

I cannot imagine another site as friendly, warm-hearted and forgiving as MM for those of us in search of learning.


With warmest best wishes,

Fran

Thanks, Fran...

and Don, do you mean to say that I should capitalize the beginning of Line One?

re "bear heir" ... I'm imagining one of the geeks aboard the ship hooking up with one of the chic gals, who produces for him an heir...

they're there

Lightly, Daniel  :sun:

Hi Just Daniel,

My opinion is the start letter should be a capital.  Ms. Parrott's example began each quatrian with a capital.

I suggest we look up some past contest winners for guidance.

Thanks for the explanation of couplet.  

Interpretation is almost as tricky as writing.

Thanks for participating.  This is neither my favorite form, nor am I priming the pump more than providing a decent introduction to a strange new fixed form.

Hi Toumi,

Hopefully, I did not shoot across your fine bow. The quotation I picked out of context that you supplied is case in point.  These quoted words in are typical of motivation seminars and rah, rah meetings to perk up employees. Being a technical person impatient with yackity yack and desiring quick cut to the chase, I fail diplomacy.

Please send me an IM about what purple and lavender might mean. I picture royality and coffins.

I may be misunderstanding a great deal.  I perceive Ms. Parrott's motivations to be complex and varied.  Her means of motivating others do not pull my chain, but I am willing to comply for my own complexity.  I enjoy reading an accomplished writer, regardless of the subject.

My sincere apology for making you feel ill at ease.

May your mornings be less wet and send cheer.

Don

Dear Don,

I have this perception of a bunch of Wanda S Parrotts rolling around on the floor barely able to breathe through laughter at all these oh-so-serious poets tying themselves in knots trying to write 14-WORD sonnets - a PISS-take indeed !

A sort of satirical Poetry.com .... (but I'm sure, without the rip-off aspects)

Love
Alan

Dear Alan,

I do hope you weren't rolling on the floor laughing at mine!  I don't think this is the kind of piece I'd be showcasing anywhere... at least in the two-line format, but it is an interesting challenge.

And it didn't cost me a thing... not even my pride.

Lightly, Daniel  :sun:

Dear Daniel,

You, the Lion of Form Poetry - you, sir, your pride is intact !

I almost commented several times on your efforts here, but that back-of-the-mind feeling that we are being taken for a ride prevented me getting in there and commenting.

Now that I have stated my reason for hesitating, I feel free to praise that which is good, even within the intimacy of the pissoire !

Keep up the good work.

Btw, I made a comment about some other form I'd tried, as I would not want it on my gravestone, I think you are saying the same thing here ....

Love
Alan

PS write a poem using the comment in my first lion, er, line !

[JustDaniel]

Thank you, Alan... I think
