See, if you weren't so good at keeping up with the comments you'd have recognised that yesterday's was a continuation of the previous Saturday's four-line prose :-p We're nearly at the end of November, and I've done a fairly good job of only revisiting old stories and characters all year now, as I promised I'd try back in January. Jedward is a new character, but Sixticton is familiar ground so I think that falls within the overall effort, same as Lord Derby has got a few new characters for his current story. The four line poems tend to be an exception to that rule, but that would take quite an effort -- maybe next year I'll link an entire year's worth of four-line verse into a single massive poem :)
A figure of speech Given sufficient thrust, even pigs may fly Ought to be a figure of speech But the rising prices of bacon Suggest the pigs are flying out of reach.

A figure of speech
Given sufficient thrust, even pigs may fly
Ought to be a figure of speech
But the rising prices of bacon
Suggest the pigs are flying out of reach.
Greg - man, if you pull off that year long poem, four lines at a time, it's game over. We can all just pack up and go home :P
ReplyDeleteAlso: thanks for the reminder, I needed it to place Jedward.
This is a pretty great poem, considering the prompt. Love the final two lines :)
