Hey Harry, is that Shakespeare verse what freckle posted an Iambic Pentameter thing?

I still haven't got my head around that yet...resident thicko that I am...i just can't stand rules and hence am very reluctant to read about it! its the rebel in me!

[Harry H Howgill]

How adorable...i particularly like the use of the word "beguiles" for some reason in this!..............hope you get a good kip Harry!

Will do. I need it after this week. Night all.

Stephen Fry is great at explaining it all, and it helped me appreciate poems from another angle. Go on, give it a go.

Why is it when I googled "Poem Snecklifter" the first website is the FRA Forum "Today's Poetry" thread , followed by Sylvia Plath?

It was wrong, but oh so right
The timing was out
It should have happened years ago
A Nony mouse!

My friends have been good to me recently...today an old pal gave me the complete set of bbc books on the nations favourite poems...i found this little frost one in the book of animal poems

Dust of Snow
Robert Frost

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

This is one of my favourite Frost poems!

Well Merry, timing seems to be very important with so many things in life. There have been cases of the time was right but it was wrong; the time was wrong but it was right; not enough time to get it right and it was wrong and the time was wrong! (Looking forward to a time was right and it was right scenario!)

I do hope A Nony Mouse has better luck soon.

Makes perfect sense to A Nony Mouse and he says thank you

merry's raw emotional three liners are brilliant like tri-mind's amazingly personal insights into his life. Ths thread continues to be fantastic. Hope you're okay Mr Mouse (A)
