Actually, not a bad assessment …
| I am heroic couplets; most precise And fond of order. Planned and structured. Nice. I know, of course, just what I want; I know, As well, what I will do to make it so. This doesn’t mean that I attempt to shun Excitement, entertainment, pleasure, fun; But they must keep their place, like all the rest; They might be good, but ordered life is best. |
What Poetry Form are You?
(via SfAD)
Ottava rima? Me? That can’t be right!
Too frivolous? But tut, there’s no such thing!
Let others ponder thoughts of wrong and right,
Or sit and think how much they love the spring;
I’d rather spend my time in gleeful spite,
Or maybe laugh, or maybe sit and sing.
Besides, it might be fun to be inspiring –
But surely it would get so very tiring.
You and me both.
“most precise And fond of order. Planned and structured”? Of course I’m Heroic Couplets! What would you expect from a guy who must keep his books arranged alphabetically by author, then chronologically by series? I was declared Lawful Neutral by the guys in my D&D group for a reason, you know!
Hey, Dave, does that mean you picked “gizmos” for #8? As soon as I saw that list, I predicted that would be your answer.
Actually, I picked “thingies.”
