Triolet for a Stranded DogFrom my vantage point, I see wreckage strewn  It seems so desolate, so void of life  Past is now gone; future will be rough-hewn  From my vantage point, I see wreckage strewn  Where shall I go then, amidst all this ruin  What can I salvage when pain is but rife  From my vantage point, I see wreckage strewn  It seems so desolate, so void of life Triolet for a Stranded Dog

Some Stone and DirtThink of this gravestone  as a long, low chair  strategically placed  at a turn in the stair.   
[Paul Muldoon, 'The Breather', Moy Sand and Gravel]   
A resting place is maybe found  for him, who's buried in the ground.  A pleasant thought, a resting place  for him, who needs some breathing space.  But where to go when the breather 's done?  Is there a place where it's all or it's none?  I think he might long for someone there  who says, "It's all right, there's no more care.  You'll not ever be alone -  think of this gravestone."   
Does he long for co Some Stone and Dirt

What Boys Look LikeI remember when I was a little girl,  I used to wonder  what boys looked like  without their clothes on.   
I was the oldest of three,  Three girls, that is,  and even though I knew  what girls looked like -  
I am one, after all -  boys still were a mystery to me.   
I knew that boys had something  that girls did not possess.  Or maybe,  as someone once told me,  what boys had was on the outside  and girls had that thing on the inside.  I was baffled and confused and puzzled.  I wondered what boys looked like  when they took off their pants. & What Boys Look Like

Traveling as one
by ~TheNathanator
Metre - draft 2So. Metre.  It has become a dirty word in some poetry circles.  
It conjures images of withered, grey-haired men laboriously counting out beats and stresses whilst coughing up phlegm because of all the dust in their cramped and quasi-arcane libraries.   
It really isn't all THAT bad, trust me.   
So, without getting too 'old-man' technical - What is metre? what is it good for?  
And, importantly, how does one use it?   
Well, let's see if we can come up with some workable and easily understood answers by the end of this.   
 
#1: What is metre?

Hi Unseenundine, thanks for showing an interest in ~PenWieldingPoets
There are a few bothersome rules for joining that are posted in the journal that you'll need to follow before you can be accepted. :)

Hope to hear from you soon!

I hope you post some more stuff soon! I enjoyed Some Stone and Dirt, but it's rather short and there's not enough in your gallery as of yet for me to really know what your style is. If you ever get around to adding more poetry give me a shout!

I'm a sucker for structure and meter, so from the little I've seen with Some Stone and Dirt you look promising. :D

Cheers.
