Heterograph rhymes

Judo, you are right. Mea culpa!

I had a more expansive explanation of the"A heterograph" rhymes when I was calling them homonyms. I guess I chopped it too much when I changed to heterograph, thanks to you.

I thought restricting everyone to the heterograph of A (line one) itself would be too limiting [I think it is hard enough as it is.], but go ahead and try it if you wish. - I meant to say that the rhymes for lines 4 and 5 should rhyme with a heterograph of A, the first line in the stanza.

I hope that helps to make it a little clearer and a little easier. Once more I apologize.

Regards, Rybka

 

[Rybka]

A row about "row" and "now"

"row" and "now" do not rhyme (they are not A's).

"row" as in a fight, and "now" do rhyme.



Regards, Rybka

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Ah! Now, all makes sense!

Good work, Rybka. I'll be sure to write a stanza...

 

[TheDR4KE]

Re: O.K. Gang, Try This!

Wow, hard challenge Rybka.

So I'm assuming this will be a collection of stanzas with the common theme making them hang together, rather than them necessarily flowing logically through story etc continuity?

DR4KE,

I will settle for vignettes [your first option], but your latter would be great.

Okay

This exercise is futile
And makes the mind too docile
To clearly express one's true self
Like the egyptian crocodile
Underwater grinning with a smile
We deplete our mind of creative wealth
We sit idly waiting for the anelope to drink and drain its health


Okay Rybka..what else did you read about and want us to try...haha..Im going back to really live ...have a great day. Incidently Rybka..met some crazy Russian girls this week...hotties.....We are going to NY with them..have a good week all

Blarney out

If you wish to play with us and submit a stanza please feel free to do so. Everyone is welcome. [By the way, it should be "antelope", or maybe on this board "analope".

By the way, where can some of your serious writing be seen? Literotica does not list you as a contributing author.

"analope" tee hee
I'll try to submit a stanza, but first I'd rather see how someone else approaches this.

Re: O.K. Gang, Try This!

to inspire us all re the heteronym stuff, here's a great poem with that, and other nym's, as theme. For the whole piece, see here

English is tough stuff!

Dearest creature in creation,
study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
make your head and heart grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear,
so shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
When you correctly say croquet.
rounded, wounded, grieve and sleeve,
scenic, Arabic, pacific,
science, conscience, scientific,
tour, but our, and succour, four,
gas and alas and Arkansas.

etc etc etc

Quack

Severed Time In A Row

Several times in a row
and I'm not even sure now
that it ever happened
my lover seemed just to flow
and movement began to slow
like time itself was penned,
a bottle of ketchup on end.

Dispute's outcome was a tear.
Instant, with infinite care.
One look held all at bay -
shifted and filled me with fear.
I knew then what I would hear.
Eternity to say:
You know that I just can not stay.

Good DR4KE

Welcome aboard! See. It can be done!

How can we be done?
Was I talking on the phone?
If I paid you some more dough,
Could you caress my lower zone?
How could you have a big one and I have none?
Déjà vu! Listen mister, hook up the plough
Because I want to be through!

I'm going away for the weekend, but I really want to write a stanza for this. Please hold it open until I get back.

Have fun everyone!

Judo's stanza reworked to format

Judo
How can we be done?
Was I talking on the phone?
If I paid you some more dough,
Could you caress my lower zone?
How could you have a big one and I have none?
Déjà vu! Listen mister, hook up the plough
Because I want to be through!

Jujitsu (Judo with a fishy flip)

How can time take such abuse
is it not tired of ill use
When It's as thick as dough
and it all seems to just ooze
while your memories all fuse
déjà vu - yes I know
but I still hate to see my life go.

O.K. Gang, Try This!

I'm just bringing this forward so it doesn't get completely lost. Who alse is going to contribute?
Here is a repeat of the structure:

The theme is the perception of time slowing down under certain conditions, i.e. going "into the zone" in sports. I have had it happen several times when I was angry, and once during sex [Which was the greatest that I have ever had, the climax lasted forever.]. This one can be both erotic and/or non-erotic as you see fit.

The rhyme scheme is:
A
A
B
HOMOGRAPHIC HETEROPHONE - A
HOMOGRAPHIC HETEROPHONE - A
B
B

my face pressed to the glass,

amidst the fury without sound--
Your absence unsurpassed,
I watch my world as it falls past.

Amidst's listed as only one syllable in several dictionaries, but if you want to cut down a syllable, i'd prefer changing it to midst or simply in -- I'm really set about "the fury"

I'll change it almost anyway you want, but you need to get a new dictionary! Maybe an English one instead of Portuguese.
Both my Webster's list it as a.midst, a colloquial form of 'amid' [a.mid]. - I really don't know you would say it as a single syllable.
