I had to try this:

A poem (rhymed for preference) using the words 'ice', 'bitter', 'wind', 'dark' and 'bare'. Extra credit for cheerful, uplifting poems :)

When winter comes, the bitter ice
Entices thoughts both dark and light,
Throughout the cold and starlit night.
The wind strips trees of all their leaves,
Yet leaves the nuts, to squirrrels’ delight.

Stephen Fry strikes again, eh? ;-)

I keep meaning to create a journal specifically for the Ode Less Travelled exercises - perhaps it should be a community? Would you be interested?

LOL!

Notice the iambic tetrameter!
Notice the internal rhymes!
Notice the enjambement!

I like the idea of an Ode Less Travelled community. It would certainly be a prod to doing the exercises. I'd join!

[livejournal.com profile] ode_travellers now exists. I'm not sure yet what I'll do with it, but I'll mention it on LT!
