Of course we are all too mature now to need the warning, nor is it new to us. But bring forth,the flitting phrase, the image sprung to mind. Good work anyway, but most of us need a telescope held backwards to imagine a current need in this little homily.

I hope we can find a more poetic name for it than THAT! I've asked some poetic types at another forum if they recognize this as any specific form or not. If they come up with an amswer, I'll share it here. Ha! I hope we can find a more poetic name for it than THAT!

I'm not much of a forms scholar, really; I just try to make sure the poems say what I want to say, and that they have a rhythm when I read them aloud. Sorry I can't answer that question. Anyone else know? Errol: There may be a name for the 7-6-7-6 rhythm, but honestly I don’t know what it is.

Just wondering, Steve...is there a particular name for the 7-6-7-6 syllabic count? It's very effective. Solid! Just wondering, Steve…is there a particular name for the 7-6-7-6 syllabic count?

I keep wondering about my ability to identify what is false... Matches nicely to Nick's editorial piece - that's what I said - Nick's editorial! We're democratic at EDP.
