The Lai - a Poetry Friday post

[kellyrfineman]

This month, my lovely poetry sisters and I took on a form called the lai. It is an open form consisting of one or more nine-line stanzas. Each stanza follows the form of AABAABAAB, where each A line has 5 syllables, and the B lines have only 2 syllables

I love the meta-humor of these stanzas. It totally worked for me!

Heehee--I just think this is so clever, Kelly!

The lie is that the lai is simple...

This was a humorous and elegant way to say, "I can't do this crap." And yet, you DID!
There's a lesson hidden in there somewhere...

Fun

Ha! You're a determined soul, Kelly. Thanks for sharing your struggles, and making us all laugh, too.
