Thanks for the invite, but seeing how I don’t wanna get moderated, I think it best to talk to you in the pit.

In your recent post, you mention having students?

That thought is almost enough to make me wanna pray…for them.

What, we’re reduced to haiku? And not even properly constructed haiku, but 17-syllable remarks written in three lines with no attempt to fit the imagery criteria?

Can’t someone do a sonnet or villanelle? A triolet? How about “Sestina of the Troll Royal”:

"Speakin’ in general, I have read 'em all –  
Those incoherent trolls who write in rants…

😉

Because your choice was somewhat strange,  
I had to look up triolet.  
I had to stretch my vocab. range,  
Because your choice was somewhat strange.  
My good thoughts of you will likely change,  
You’ve _forced me to learn more_ this day;  
Because your choice was somewhat strange,  
I had to look up triolet. ☹
