Our prompt today was to write a poem advertising poetry. The third one is not quite an ad, but it has the cadence.
Neo Burma-Shave Ads
Make your words
both scan and rhyme.
Writing poetry’s
not a crime!
Get a seed of thought
and sow it.
Once it grows,
you’ll be a poet!
Robert Frost at the Movies
Robert’s poems
scanned and rhymed.
His meter? Even
and well-timed.
Yet when he tripped
on slippery tile
and dropped his
poems in a pile,
the usher hissed
in tones most vile
to get his “feet”
out of the aisle!
