Kiss My Assonance!
lines written on reading Stephen Fryβs The Ode Less Travelled
If assonance is asinine
And who could argue with that line?
Allow me give a sample rhyme
So you can kiss this ass oβ mine.
If consonance is asinine
And who would argue? No-one. None!
I'll offer yet another one
And you can kiss this ass oβ mine.
Substitutionβs asinine
Throw in a trochee for iamb
But you can kiss this ass oβ mine
Because at least I donβt enjamb
-ment seems to be all youβve got left
when thought cannot keep in the line
of verse. But hereβs a subtle shift,
So you can kiss this ass oβ mine.
Acrostics all are asinine
So why continue in this vein
Subjecting every line to strain
Oβ please just kiss this ass oβ mine.
Meters fleeter than a mist
In dancing dactyls, pyrrhics, rimes
Need not resemble pointless crimes
Enveloping the line like this . . .

Sounds musical...Sang it out loud while reading it...Enjoyed every word in every live...This is a masterpiece J...Well done!
Thank you, Rose.
Poetry is, and always has been, written to be spoken aloud...performed even! Reading it under your breath in a quiet, dusty library is just a waste of the poet's time and effort!!

My Dear Friend, Jason,
Roses are red
Violets are blue
No more hackneyed rhyme
So kiss this ass o' mine
I'll stick to blank verse:
Assonance abandoned
If you don't like my cadence or time
You can kiss this ass o' mine
That's all I have to say
I'm going to write a play
It's called "Asses of Assisi"
Forgive me Saint Francis
Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
If blank verse is the way you want to go
Though difficult to see what will betide
I wish you well; because, as we all know,
Pegasus is an awful assΒ to ride!!
your friend & fan,
J ;)
