“Today’s prompt is to relax with the rather silly form called Skeltonic, or tumbling, verse. In this form, there’s no specific number of syllables per line, but each line should be short, and should aim to have two or three stressed syllables. And the lines should rhyme. You just rhyme the same sound until you get tired of it, and then move on to another sound.
My poem for the day – My sister’s dog
My sister has a dog
Who lazes around like a log
And leaps like a frog
When she takes him on a jog
And if there’s ever a smog
He prances around agog
His name is ‘Rusty’
He is the color of brandy
He seems rather silly
especially
when he sees a bowl of jelly
and hides behind the telly
Rusty is a cockapoo
Who sticks around like glue
And barks only on cue
He loves a window with a view
But is frightened of anything new
Including, the bone he’s given to chew!
