A-Z poetic fun

[actrealdon]

A pangrammatic anagrammatic verse composed by Edwin Fitzpatrick - each line contains each of the 20 consonants once and each of the six vowels twice:

Why jog exquisite bulk, fond crazy vamp,
Daft buxom jonquil, zephyr's gawky vice?
Guy fed by work, quiz Jove's xanthic lamp -
Zow! Qualms by deja vu gyp fox-kin thrice.

And it rhymes!

The moral of the story: poetry by numbers sucks.

[actrealdon]

Bah. Poetry is in the ear of the beholder.

Personally
I don't like
poetry that seems
to be just
a sentence broken
into more lines than
necessary.

That stuff's easy to write (though it's icky).
But most serious poetry's tricky.
I like just one gimmick:
The good ol' limerick
This probably means I'm too picky.

[actrealdon]

I like my poems with rhythmic metre;
Which leads me to things like pentameter
Designed for Latin, words don't always fit
in English, but still I like to work with it

What does it mean?

[actrealdon]

It seems as though it would require a lot of context to explain/justify - context I do not have, but could make up if you wish.
