Short Form Florette (two lines of six syllables each, with an end rhyme and an internal rhyme). March’s daily poem style thanks to Jane Dougherty. Don’t let the two line, six syllable form fool you. It is a brutal little mind bender. But oh the satisfaction when you nail it!

This florette might as well define the biography of my hair. No kidding. Wonderful florette though!

This little poetry form is a killer! Keeping my brain cells active, and maybe killing a few off in the process. But you know I love a good challenge! π

I’ve started loads of them, with a good ‘poetry’ line, and dumped them because the rhymes won’t work. It’s not easy!

Ahhh …. the joys of being an older, balding male.
The challenge of external and internal rhyme and a six syllable limit! The inventor of this went on to invent the original 140 character twitter, something a lot less challenging.

Thank you for that history lesson Ron. The inventor was obviously a fan of brevity! π

I slather on loads of lotion each and every day. Even my back in the shower after I’ve dried off with one of those fancy lotion ball roller thingies. Our low humidity commands these drastic measures, π
