Quatrain Corner

[Turtle]

Quirky quaint quatrain quickly quarters quince quietly,
Real rude rhymes rapidly roll right riotously,
Serious sorry sonets scurry slop sad sonorously,
Torrid trendy triplet trundles tenderly toward totality.

[orbsycli]

seven trumpets to my right,
the desperate wingman takes off, into flight,
a fork has fallen, a glass is dropped,
another taxi escapes down 64.

[orbsycli]

why won't anybody else throw some words together? just me, turtle, and gahd so far.

I was just thinking maybe I'm keeping you from studies Orb, composing quatrains. GETE ( Grinning Ear To Ear) Maybe people just have to warm up to it; at least no one has put us in the stocks yet. Nice contributions though you guys. Another cool thing is since it's Hypography, you can do the reprise thing off a good idea someone else posted. That's a science part of this (humanities, whatever); In what other venue has the quatrain ever had so many degrees of freedom? None I say. Long live Hypography & its contributors.

One, two, three, four,
that many lines,
and simply,
no more.

Some words for you
I've jotted here
A phrase that's new
Now gimme a beer

[orbsycli]

CHEERS!

[Turtle]

Through my lips,
and over my gums,
lookout stomach,
here beer comes.

[orbsycli]

the people of this town wilt in their unpaved streets of purity beneath the church of marble and stained glass that hides the sun around this time,
the frail remains of a hawk echoes back and forth between the saloons and clay fortresses that line these walls of fermament,
like a fibrous tumbleweed have i drifted here accumulating dust without a cause or knowledge of further destination,
and the sky turns red.

cohesive thoughts
all the same
Effervecent? Gooey?
a formless name

[orbsycli]

probably untouchable and glowing.
