[Roger]

Well, I don't mind so long as it's terse.

[Roger]

On the other hand it could, of course, be very tense,

[Roger]

But if that's the case, I'll nip to the garden and mend the fence.

[Preston, Moderator]

Blank Verse:

[Preston, Moderator]

It could be worse.

[Preston, Moderator]

besides 'that fits'

[Preston, Moderator]

does too rhyme with couplets

[Roger]

In the late 1960s, I do recall

[Roger]

there was a craze (before a fall):

[Roger]

for Concrete Prose and Concrete Poetry.

[Roger]

But soon everyone saw it was muppetry

[Roger]

And those who were well-meant

[Roger]

Buried it in a hole covered with cement.

[Preston, Moderator]

Muppetry that's Bert and Ernie you meant?

[Preston, Moderator]

I don't want Bert and Ernie buried in cement.

[Preston, Moderator]

How does prose and poetry get to be concrete?

[Preston, Moderator]

Is some magic spell cast by an aesthete?

[Preston, Moderator]

Pondering my navel has been such a treat,

[Preston, Moderator]

But after hearing of this horror I'm going to ponder my feet.

[Preston, Moderator]

Just when he was at his peak,

[Preston, Moderator]

Roger hasn't done a poem for a week.

[Preston, Moderator]

I wonder why he's out of touch?

[Preston, Moderator]

I bet Rufio has proven to be too much.

[Eros]

Too much for poor Roger to handle

[Eros]

Let us pray he hasn't turned cannibal

[Preston, Moderator]

Naw I heard he's gone away.

[Preston, Moderator]

Wherever he is I hope he doesn't stay.

[Eros]

Perhaps he shall return by morrow's night

[Eros]

Perhaps if he does not burn by the light

[Roger]

Oh my, but putting a book to bed

[Roger]

Is enough to do in anyone's head,

[Roger]

I have to be at everyone's beck

[Roger]

Even when I'm doing my spell check

[Roger]

And my eyes are going all blurred…

[Roger]

My God, there are times I hate Microsoft Word.

[Roger]

But finally Quintus and Rufio have gone to bed

[Roger]

One by the nose on his head the other one led.

[Eros]

To sleep or die all the same to both

[Eros]

It is Quintus who will fall short in life while Rufio is betrothed.

[Eros]

Fair skin and blonde hair a white dress to burn the aisle

[Eros]

A man in a tux to cheat on with the best-man who holds a petty smile.

[Eros]

Poor Quintus is dead and Rufio flushed away by the air of affair

[Eros]

No one can love a cheap dead man while the fair beauty walks with her blonde hair

[Roger]

Oh, my gosh, but that's so profound,

[Roger]

Life, seen as it is, in the round.

[Eros]

Why does Life suck then you die?

[Eros]

If you have a no better analogy pray do tell why?

[Roger]

So much depends of how you feel

[Roger]

As you partake of life's great wheel.

[Roger]

There are so many things to bring to the boil
