Bang the Gong...for rhyme and patterns workshop II

Poem Body

Sound of gongs upon the wind of lust
Makes her passion rise

Turns her promises to dust

Night-time rhythms on repeat
Keep the pattern

Here’s a gong that you can beat

Jacky-boy can make her smile
She feels special

He does it all the while

Thirst of the body, rules over the brain
Crescendo is real near

Thunder now and rain

The echoed tones of a brassy gong
Fills their hearts

In time to a summer song

Hi Mark

Although you used a rhyme pattern we had not dicussed and wrote in other than quatrain form your poem Does show how a change in pattern can have significant impact on how naturally a poem flows. So I'll not ask you to sit in the corner lol. PS What is the form you used called?................stan

definitely no longer sing songy

and very much more a serious write than it started out

i'm not sure, either, what form you mean you have used - it is almost free form now

love judy

Hmm.....

The last word in the first line of each couplet is rhymed every time by the following stand alone line. With that much repeated structure it surely Must be something other than free verse..............stan

I'm not sure...

what it is called and I'm sorry that I didn't use one that we discussed. Also I should have written it out in quatrains. I guess the only thing I did right, is to make it different! I will try again. ~ Gee

Hi Gee

Don't bother changing it. As is, it will get people to thinking about other patterns which is a good thing. ............stan

Ok...

What's next? Do we move on, or is there something else to do here?

It's freeform, remember freeform can rhyme

the rhyming scheme is ABACDCEFEGHGIJ
which as you can see is not a pattern.

It doesn't matter, I like it.

Thanks Jess...

I tried hard to make it meaningful and different. You like it, so it must be at least one of those. ~ Gee

presently am listening to music Im not sure of its form

a kind of rolling techno..
a few of the very popular bands put lyrics
Labrynth "navy" 4.am.mix
Interpol "Pioneer to the falls"

Music woke me up to lyrics
and music woke me up to Poetry
freeform and or rhyme with the rap
which I like from the polished pro
to the urban hardcore

I love driving around when I could
and now I just drive on Grand Theft
they have radio stations
but It allows me some free thinking
the city the atmosphere of the weather

Which leads me to this Poem
This Is new Gee for me this from you
This poem Rocks!!!

Thanks Esker...

Coming from you, that is high praise! I guess that this one is owed in part, to you.I love the way that you can cram some much visual with so few words and you have some influence on me in that respect.~ Gee
