These rhyming lines I rack my brain to write, That greet each other with similar end. Now comes the first one: "bite," "cite," "mite," or "spite?" Not one makes a sense! What can I amend? Then it's the game for me to calculate; My fingers I move to count "one to ten." "There are only nine!" so I knock my pate; An "o" or a "that" is added by my pen. At last the fight to come is "rise and fall;" 'Tis a fierce beast I can never tame. Thus I give in, not to bother at all; Iambic pentameter, curse thy name! So in the cage of form I bind my thought, To clothe in sonnet's cloak my soul of nought. -- Where words fail, music speaks. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.45.216.95 ※ 編輯: amadeus1223 來自: 114.45.216.95 (09/22 09:31) ※ 編輯: amadeus1223 來自: 114.45.216.95 (09/23 00:25)
