Many ancient texts, and thus texts pretending to be ancient or God-inspired, use repetition. In songs, a refrain can be well done, but in poetry, a phrase scattered in each stanza can be very tiring. Nonetheless, like you I tried the form. I love experimenting with constraints.<br /><br /><br />In your second couplet, what is the difference between a tune and a melody. Perhaps you mean them the same or maybe not.<br /><br />Do you play bass?<br /><br />You did well with it -- and I liked the modern music analogy. The speaker sounds like the all-to-common theme of describing her male lover as "being <i>afraid</i>(fear) of commitment."<br /><br />I'd love to do scientific survey to see the success rate of relationships where those sorts of males eventually join those lovers after years of hesitancy. My brother just did -- 17 years later -- but his testosterone levels are probably significantly lower and thus he is now a different, safer animal. ;-)<br /><br />Thanx for letting me think.Sabio Lantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963476276106907984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681047059820449960.post-88758192563437455482013-02-02T04:49:34.673-05:002013-02-02T04:49:34.673-05:00You had it sorted very efficiently.
