TOP prompt

LEMON SQUEEZY
Easy!
Slow right down stop.
Think, pick up the pencil
re-write what you quote, unquote wrote.
That's right!
And what
you've just written,
will be, cliche, all right
on the night. Or so they tell me,
easy!

    This is great fun and was it really 'easy peasey lemon squeezy' to write?
    I'm still thinking about a quartina or tritina (hate sestinas)...guess I should follow you and Sue along the optional route.

    Hi Carole, they say if its easy you're probably doing it wrong. I tried the sestina and quite enjoyed doing it but it wasn't really saying anything (to me) it was all form over fun, so I abandoned it for now, but I'm toying with the idea of the Quartina - that's not an old car is it?

    Hi Totomai, Life's not easy, is it?

    Thanks Jeeves, it's an easy formula to remember, the trick is of course to keep on doing it - when is a poem ever finished? in my mind things continue to evolve, so the format becomes a mantra - "rewrite what you wrote, rewrite what you wrote,..."

    Everybody: Life is not easy, no not easy no more / Life is not easy no not easy for sure / It's better to have scored and lost than never to have played football / Life is not easy, no not easy no more.

    Thanks Linda, I'm still working on my sestina, which is already looking more like a Quartina... anyway!

    Hi Pam, love your Quartina, the difference is you succeeded and I only took the totally optional route. Full marks to you!
