O Icicle

Another quick little one. This is (for the main) in iambic dimeter [di-DUM di-DUM].

O Icicle,
Ephemeral,
So quick to form,
So quick to go,
Oh.

Boy Racer

Just a quick little one. This is in anapaestic pentameter for those who're interested - (each line is "diddy-DUM" x5). I've italicised a couple of words to help with metrical stress.

Boy Racer

You were going at sixty but you didn't know how to drive.
You were racing too swiftly when you didn't know how to love.
So you now know what happens when you're in too much of a rush;
The inevitable - it's a mangled, obstreporous CraSH.

Blast from the Past

All this poesy has reminded me of a poem I wrote when I was 17. It was about a teacher and pupil in class who used to fight a lot. Foolishly, I wrote it down on paper, which was snatched from me, photocopied, and distributed around various people. It shattered my innocent image and left me with a nervous tic in one of my eyes for a few weeks! Anyway, I've changed the names to protect the original identities. Not for any warped reasons. Honest.


Mrs. Sprout and Draco feel
That their lust they can conceal
By their over-angry antics in the class
But should we boys reveal
That we've heard Pomona squeal
With delight, as Malfoy takes her up the ass
