Dactylic Alexandrines

Time is a healer and softens the pain now I’ve lost all your loving charms.

Yet nothing consoles me when I remember, the warmth of your loving arms.             .

Dactylic verse

Silly poem

Fantastic elastic

holds up our underwear.

Without it, big problems

our bottoms would be bare.

 

The second is a poem I wrote a while back a triolet called 'Old Friend'

It's not 100% dactylic, but I think at least parts of it are.

The Poet (Anapest ex.)

I can paint with no brush, nor with colours I'd draw
when the night has to coat and the dark has to fall;
I've my art, I can sing and alive I would show
what the words have to bring, and the magic they call.

Scansion

Catalectic Dactyl

What is the nature of things, said the man.
Guess, for I’ll not tell a thing of the plan.
Wonder and fuss with the thoughts if you can.
I will not help you a whit with the scan.

Anapest

With a book / you can cook

All this food / for each mood.

With that a/pron on tight,

Cook with all / of your might.
