It's all true...Wagner was a complete ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to his friends!!
{And by that...I don't mean he was 'a real star'!!}

Thanks Lorna. Very nearly lost it in my head...can't remember why!!

Thanks Mick.
Gotta say, though...I'm rather itching for a bit of iambic pentameter right now.
It's like an addiction, you know!

Thank the ever merciless gods!!
I thought I was the only one!!!

We should get a support group going. It would be a little weird though...a lot of ashen, shell-shocked poets sitting in a circle, incessantly tapping out; or some just blinking: the rhythm...
ti tum, ti tum, ti tum, ti tum, ti tum!!

Actually, now that I see it in my mind's eye...that's a terrifying thought; let's never do that!!
Let's just live in ever-blissful denial instead.
And keep writing secret sonnets to the moon!

Hey JASON!!.....I think this is my first real read of yours (my loss)....... Wagner ~great composer.......assinine in friendships .......and you summed it up (most cleverly) in 5,7,5 BEAUTIFULLY!!........ and I agree.... Iambic pentameter is hard to let go of ~ According to Mr Tarravecchia.....my favorite professor....... it is the soul of poetic metering!!.......ALL STARS!!...... well done brother poet!!.......LOVE and ROCKETS!!......T xo.Β  ?β˜€βœ΄βœ³

Thanks, Tony.

Your favourite professor was right. It is the soul ofΒ poetic metering...and the very heartbeat of all verse drama.
