Creative Writing Assignment #5(?) June 21, 2004

Jun 22, 2004 04:22

Often when writing rhymed poetry, we find ourselves falling back on the most rudimentary one of all, which we learned in elementary school and fear to stray too far from. Yes, I'm referring to good old ABABCDCD. But not this week ( Read more... )

That's a very long rhyme scheme.

it depends on your sentence/phrase. If you open with the first sentence of... Finnegan's Wake? Ulysses?the one with the forty page openning sentence... well, if you start with that one, then yeah, you've got an epic. I just did "Adam and that damn hat"

Yeah, I have a longER opening phrase. And I have very few repeating letters.

Just noticed this too:
Did you realize that every letter in your phrase repeats except for "h"?

dumwytgi June 22 2004, 15:45:44 UTC

yeah it does. Adam and tHat damn Hat." I made sure every letter repeated... just because... I wanted every line to have at least one rhymeing line. I know it's cheating because I knew the assignment before I came up with the phrase...

sorry your phrase is funky... ummm... good luck? And thanks for at least attempting the assignment
