Have Fun!

\nIt’s “Happy Birthday Jeff”, another one
\nAnd you ain’t getting any wiser yet;
\nBut there’s no gain in moping or regret,
\nSo knuckle down and have a load of fun.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 A while ago they fired the starting gun,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 But, like a fool, you didn’t dash away;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 You wasted time you should have used for play,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Now make amends and grab your share of fun.
\nIt could be years before your life is done,
\nDon’t waste them all in mourning what is lost,
\nThe man you bought is surely worth the cost;
\nThe time has come for you to have some fun.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 It’s “Happy Birthday Jeff”, another one
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Is just a good excuse for having fun!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nEcho Sonnet:
\nA “new poetic form” based on the Kyrielle sonnet, like the Kyrielle sonnet it
\nhas 3 quatrains and a couplet all ending with the same line (or a similar
\ndeveloping line ending with the same rhyming word) also like the Kyrielle
\nsonnet the first line is also the penultimate (second to last) line. Unlike the
\nKS however the poem is decasyllabic (ideally iambic pentameter) and the rhyme
\nscheme is abbA accA addA aA.
\na, a and A lines all rhyme and a and A lines are the repeating lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
