Thank you. You are all too kind. It is amazing what intellectual isolation can drive a man to.

Well, hopefully you found someplace to ease the intellectual isolation (i.e. here.) That said, I like the second even more than the first. ------------------ IP: Logged |

There's a place called "Flowery Branch" in Georgia? Freaky.... Hey, cool poems... Very inspiring.... I've only written one that only had a semi-technical beginning: 12 a.m. midnight Yup... that's the extent of it. Your stuff's hella cool, though. Do you have a webpage of more stuff? IP: Logged |

off topic but answering the above question: of course there's a place called flowery branch in georgia. it's only about 45 minutes from atlanta. actually, it's the "home of the atlanta falcons" and they're proud of it (it's on the water tower.) it's up by lake lanier. of course, the only reason i know is that's where the Ga Tech sailing club keeps all our boats. anyway... someone can now bring us back on topic.

WAY COOL!!!! I love the first one, except that the ryme scheme was a little off in the third couplet... hide - chin... perhaps woking in ride, tide, or died in stead might make the rymme work better, but don't mess with the meaning, "cuz it ROCKS." The second one reminds me of some code I say on another BB, except that the other code was an ode to a lady... wish I could remeber wh I saw it. IP: Logged |

The change in rhyme scheme is referred to as the bridge, supported by the initial rhyme in the first line of the third couplet. This is done as a way to end the incessant rythm and to allow the poem to find its graceful end. The pentameter then goes from identical in both lines to a rythmic switch saving some beats for the beat greedy last stanza. Then again.. it was meant to be read aloud to a rythm, as opposed to inside ones head. ------------------ IP: Logged |
