If I may, I shall take up
Evisse the Blue 's wonderful
Poem Parody thread and apply it not to Tolkien's Middle-earth but to our own perilous realm, our Barrow Downs forum. I hope
Evisse won't deem this off-topic! (I don't know how I missed this thread when she started it, but searching over old pages of forums certainly shows I've missed several good threads. Here's to their resurrection also as time warrants!)
The Red Wheelbarrow
by William Carlos Williams
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chicken
And now for something completely different, as they say...
The Green-knived Barrow
by WC Quilläms
so much pretends
upon
a green-knived
barrow
glazed with cryptic
posts
astride the black
screen
I'm still tinkering a bit with the scansion of 'posts' and 'screen' so I might be back to edit. I would really like to have similar word breaks like wheel/barrow and rain/water.
