Four/One: The Birth of A New Poetic Form

It's mine! It's mine! A form so Fine: Four rhymes in a single line.


If I were trim and slim, she'd not look at him... off to the gym!


Glimmer. Let it simmer. Lights grow dimmer. I drive a Bimmer.


Give it a try, let your mind fly, laugh or cry. It only matters Why.

    No, I don't drive a Bimmer, or Beemer if you prefer, it just fit the line's rhymes. (It's actually the tale of a guy in a singles' bar at closing time)

    Sheer nonsense you see, Kathe? I disagree wholeheartedly!

    (I think it's revolutionary! A form for the masses! Four/One, the every-man's poetic form!)

    This might catch on or cause a yawn and be gone by dawn.

    Again...Bimmer??? Stop making up words to fit your new rhyming pattern. Honestly.

    I didn't make it up! Some used car dealers even use it in their name, like Bimmers 'n Benz in New York and Bimmers R Us in St. Louis, MO.

    I won't brood if you intrude, as long as you're not rude... AND you bring food.
