And the heroic couplet rises once again to tell the epic story narrative
I like to use of the rhythmic, dramatic rhyming triplet for comparative
Academics boast of the alexandrine or hexameter poetic romantic line
The lambic pentameter is dominantly used metrical the egotistical sublime
The Dons who know their poetry exude talk of accentual – syllabic verse
The sweet sonnets, or sing one cornetto, song sonetto – even bloody worse
The boffins like their rules, their strict rhyming scheme and meter structure
Give me a touch of trochonic foot or blank free prose than an iamb puncture
Moving past the sestet through the octave no more a simple sweet subtle stanza
And what of terza rima – this technique must have a place in any poetic bonanza
Anapestic heptameter, hexastich, homonym with every bloody hendecasyllabics
Homostophic hook hyperbole hyper catalectic – a poetic linguist playing his tricks
Ictus, listen to the Beat as I stress imagery into a gargantuan metaphorical mess
Incantation chanted in magical fashion as in the witches of the glorious Macbeth
Jabberwocky nonsense words as in the magical Alice Through the Looking Glass
Put kids off poetry forever with Kit –Cat, kinetic poetry and see an exit en mass
What’s wrong with a poet’s early immature work even if it is just simple juvenilia
Leitmotif words running see lexicographers butterfly beauty from the caterpillar
Libretto or light verse yes but the jolly simple limerick the scholars do lampoon
Saccharine sweet sugary litotes, logaoedic, logopoeia fed to me with a silver spoon
Make lyrical ballads of them all, macaronic verse is my own poetic Magnum Opus
Melpoeia, mesostic, tumbling metaphors Marlowe’s Mermaid Tavern meiosis
Metonymy, mimesis, minstrels, molossus, magnificent masterly mine monometer
Mora, negative capability, neologism from St Paul to Rome and St Peter’s Pontate
New apocalypse, heralds the Nobel Prize for the best ever-English Poet Laureate
A golden treasury of words into gobbledegook from even the greatest ever Bard
Why aggrandise, confuse a grand style making our beautiful language very hard
