New Prompt - Split Couplet
October 19, 2007
I love couplets. Today's prompt: a Split Couplet
Definition and example from:
http://www.uni.edu/~gotera/CraftOfPoetry/couplet.html
Split Couplet- the first line in iambic pentameter, the second in iambic dimeter. From Richard Steere's "On a Sea-Storm Nigh the Coast"
The weighty seas are rowled from the deeps
In mighty heaps,
And from the rocks' foundations do arise
To kiss the skies.
Try several quatrains, related or unrelated, your choice. Topic your choice, as well.
