Well I like to use a food metaphor... Main = stove, Hangout = kitchen table.

s'all goodWhat you got cookin'?
Wonder what you would make of the vibrator poem?
what did i forget?1201 should have a long enough memory.
what did i forget?
Nothing I'm certain. Just seeing who actually looks at, much less plays, the piano.
Waiting for a Truncated Hexaquintalet ...
Waiting for an explanation of how to write one. The example I saw you and T-zed (wasn't it?) id in a recent thread is not exactly clarifying it for me.
Thank you, Brother B.
<puffing up with pride>
Well. Hexaquintalet would seem to be a 6 stanza poem with five lines per stanza. Truncation would imply fewer stanzas. Zero stanzas would meet the criteria but what's the point? I suppose the limerick would be a special case that meets the description but again, why bother? Limerick is so much easier to spell than truncated hexaquintalet.
For those preferring rhyme over reason, AABBA works well. Nothing to say the truncation has to arrive at the end of a stanza. AABBA BBCCB CCDD seems fine enough and could be mistaken for a ... horrors ... sonnet by someone who counts but doesn't pay close attention.
It seems that meter doesn't matter. Content baby.
Clear?
Yes, thank you. Truncated is good. I figured the 6X5 part but not how truncating could result in no poem or a limerick or some Frankenpoem, say, a haiku plus a couplet, two sonnets with an extra couplet, etc.
Alas
Meter shoots a meteor streak
silvery contrail dust oblique
a poem that promises the sky
but trails and sputters to comply
my métier must lack technique.

Were I not a man of de frock, I might express a love both metaphoric and meteoric in wake of your fine truncated hexaquintalet. It is, to my knowledge, only the second example of the form. Pushing forward the limits of form ... rhyming on the edges of creative endeavour ... gobsmacked, am I.
I shall overlook the unfortunate reference to Frankenpoetry.
What news of the fair Disposa?

I must point out that two sonnets plus couplet would be a hexaquintalet but alas at 30 lines it would not be truncated.
If you need a longer ... er ... template to hang your ode upon, might I suggest the hexaquintalet royale of five hexaquintalets with a plethora of potential interlocking rhyming schemes or even the Imperial Hexaquintalet with 750 lines to tempt one's rhyming dictionary.
Enjoy.

And consider: what better repository for them than a chamber of horrors, coital or otherwise?
Just came by to water the ficus.
Nicely done todski. Makes Martha's trials with garden produce seem sorta ... well ... trivial.

*coffee splutter*AT least she can buy another cucumber, harder to purchase a new spine
still yogurt topping has to be a hard one to beat!
*careful what you ask for*
Met her at the club, tiny
little thing, we laughed
as I joked My quad was bigger
than her waist, tested it,
My leg was bigger,
she liked the Big men,
silly little thing.
she was kind enough to
come back to mine,
for a roll about on the
bed I had behind a couch
classy broad in a share
house of dudes, didn't mind
so long as she got stewed.
Things proceed in the usual
manner, get naked, get to it
she gets excited, starts to scream
Harder she urges,
what's a man to do but
deliver,
things start to slap,
her screams ring out
she urges
HARDER
ego on the line,
pull out all stops,
ass a blur, hammering her
like a sewing machine,
she wailing and screaming
Start thinking, I am the man
her screams change tone,
I slow my pace to see what
has happened, she lays there
prone, rolls to her side cries.
drive her to the hospital
wait two hours for a doctor
MRI reveals, twisted pelvis
car accident trauma
as long as she lives
chiropractic visits,
Who would have thought a simple fuck
could cause permanently damaged luck?
