Ground rules for protesting meter and form. |
Scent A Meter da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM I feel like crying as I write my name, and wonder if I’ll ever be the same. For speaking in iambic feet again— is really not as bad as I’d admit. I kind of like the waves that it produces— but sometimes there will be a dangling beat, just like the first line of this four line feat, to stop the wave and trip the tongue a bit. I feel like crying as I speak my name, and know that I’m the only one to blame. I chose a name to call my hidden self, but Dan Sturn is a trochee, not iambic— ----------- DUM dum, DUM dum, DUM dum, DUM dum, DUM dum Should I spend life speaking like a Norwegian? ----------- da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM I took the name to be a certain mask, as I began to listen to my Muse. I've grown to like the mask so now I ask, do I my name now have to disabuse? But I should clarify a postulate, I only protest meter using form, for if I want to build a resume, I want to show that I can too conform. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other protests against form and meter are included in: "We have a Write to Escape" |
