Yes, the quilldancer seems to hit at the truth. Reminds me of the psychaitrist, who leaning back in his chair asked his patient, there, "so....Have you cheated on yer wife?" To which the grinning patient replied, "who else?"
Great so now we have to read poems written by a wombat?
The Wombat
The wombat lives across the seas, Among the far Antipodes. He may exist on nuts and berries, Or then again, on missionaries; His distant habitat precludes Conclusive knowledge of his moods, But I would not engage the wombat In any form of mortal combat.
I was wondering about that, too -- found this on google -- it sounds like it might be right(?)
CINQUAIN The traditional cinquain is based on a syllable count.
line 1 - 2 syllables line 2 - 4 syllables line 3 - 6 syllables line 4 - 8 syllables line 5 - 2 syllables
The modern cinquain is based on a word count of words of a certain type.
line 1 - one word (noun) a title or name of the subject line 2 - two words (adjectives) describing the title line 3 - three words (verbs) describing an action related to the title line 4 - four words describing a feeling about the titlem, a complete sentence line 5 - one word referring back to the title of the poem
does anyone else think it odd that the guy whose blog this is, is not even here, but all of the rest of us are here blogging our brains out... am beginning to think this Cosmo cat has like, a real life...

Oh, come on! This is too much.
ReplyDeleteMissing??? Really???
ReplyDeleteNo...tell me this is a joke!
Talk about being a puppet on a string! I think all my cords have been cut this morning!
Cosmo- if you are out there and you can read this- I miss you already!
/bark bark bark
ReplyDeletehowwwwwwwwl! LMAO! vaya con dios!
/grrr
Bon voyage, dear.
ReplyDeletePondering -- how can one be FOUND missing? Is not missing -- missing? Is not found -- found?
ReplyDeleteI am confused.
oh i do love this!
ReplyDeletehahahaha - found missing indeed - by whom? - agents unknown apparently - hahahahaha!
sir percy should get on the case and quit grumbling about publicity stunts.
as I feared...
ReplyDeleterecent turnings to matters dark within the bowels of the NY Poet Department... and now this... where will it all end?
Um, if Sir Cosmo is missing, and Sancho's haning out at Percival's, who's posting this?
ReplyDeleteYes, the quilldancer seems to hit at the truth.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the psychaitrist, who leaning back in his chair asked his patient, there, "so....Have you cheated on yer wife?"
To which the grinning patient replied, "who else?"
Aliens perhaps, x-dell?

Does this mean Sancho finally gets the horse?
ReplyDeleteTake it from me: Sancho no longer wants that horse.
ReplyDeleteCosmo- really, it's been all day!
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you~
-Mayden :)
well, if you weren't "found missing" you could come by for mint juleps and Jack Daniels.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the wombat might imbibe?
chuckle, chorckle, gufawww....
ReplyDeleteIf he doesn't return, any chance I could have his mint julep?
ReplyDeleteLee, You never cease
ReplyDeleteputting a smile on my face. SEE :)
izzee back, yet?
ReplyDeleteDo Wombat's hibernate?
ReplyDeleteNo, they don't.
ReplyDelete:-)

There are probably many good things to be said for anonymity.
ReplyDeleteWho said that?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteOr wazziz name on 2nd...
I would like to know where you are too.
ReplyDeletebecause I am bored and lonely today and wish that you would come out and play.
Have you gone fishing with Percy?
ReplyDeleteNo, not the fishing boat, he's probably gone off in the mothership.
ReplyDeletereally cosmo, this is annoying now.
ReplyDeletei want to invite you to come write a cinquain (i'm sure you are capable of such a task), but alas, you are still not about.
you missed the mint julep party (lee- you should have dropped by - plenty for all - can you write cinquains? do try!)
What, pray tell, is a cinquain?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about that, too -- found this on google -- it sounds like it might be right(?)

Triangles are all different.

I am sure bird can come up with a better example......but this is the idea. Someone sat up nights figuring out formula poetry. I think. haha
