and soon I will be on my way
to display my molars for him.
I'm hoping there will be good news,
for who in their right mind would choose
to maybe lose their sparkling grin?
Grace is keeping our brains active today, by introducing us to another Welsh poetic form, the Cywydd Llosgyrnog, which I can't pronounce...
However, I can understand the rhyme scheme and the following explanation.
*******A
*******A
**a***B
*******C
*******C
**c***B
A second building block in the "cywydd" meter, this format is written using sestets. The poem itself can be of any number of stanzas, but each stanza has a strict meter, containing two eight-syllable couplets and two interlacing rhymes on the third and sixth lines. The third and sixth lines also rhyme with one another.
What a light-hearted approach you have chosen - though for one who has had recent tangles with dentists, all too close to home.
ReplyDeleteFun! You make the form look easier than it is.
ReplyDeleteI've been having a hard time with this form, so perhaps I should take my cue from you and go lighthearted with it.
ReplyDeleteNicely done (although I'd change "loose" to "lose" unless you mean "it's a loose tooth".)

Oops! Thanks, Kay, you're a pal!
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to think about this form - addled brain after having six grandchildren staying for a few days.
ReplyDeleteSo, well done, you:-)

ReplyDeleteCommiserations imac - so far, all I need is a clean...
ReplyDeleteGreat poem to a rather difficult sounding meter. Well done!
ReplyDeleteA serious and revered Welsh poetical form and you choose to make a mockery of it. You'll never be welcome in Llandudno again...
ReplyDeletelove it! don't forget to floss!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding... I would love to hear how that is pronounced! ha ha --
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so clever with your rhyming!
Good to see a bit of Welsh creeping in! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's absolutely no answer to that, Jinksy!
ReplyDeleteAll of you are writing such gloriously bouncy things. I'm so pleased with the response. :D
