Time to Write a Poem

April 17 Dionysus

Dionysus

Gods and goddesses of Yore
played with humans of before.
Dionysus, god of wine,
set his sights to lust and dine.
Vino flowed from dusk to dawn
orgies, bing fests would be spawned.
Drink was spilled in drunken haste
forming puddled, bottle waste.
While ecstasy was his aim,
some connect his game with shame.

The Anacreontic couplet is named for the ancient Greek poet Anacreon who tended to write short lyrical poems celebrating love and wine, falling under the Dithyramb genre. By 1700 English poet John Phillips defined the form to be written in 7 syllable rhyming couplets.
The elements of the Anacreontic couplet are:
         1.stanzaic, written in any number of couplets,
         2.syllabic, lines of 7 syllables each
         3.rhymed. aa bb etc.
         4.composed to celebrate the joys of drinking and lovemaking. Some Anacreontic verse tends toward the erotic or bawdy
