The myope poet's needy old friend

The myope (someone who sees blury images) poet is cassie
and her needy friend is Frank

I am done - I hope someone finishes this - lines 3 and 4 need work

Just coming into this, so please, please forgive me if I've missed something; I haven't read back through the thread yet.

Anyway, my thought: Regardless of whether CiW is canon, in her universe she is, so it stands to reason that she really does consider herself once-upon-a-time friends with Bree. So wouldn't she maybe be Cassie's needy old friend? Frank seems more like a new friend.

couldn't cassie's old, needy friend be Bree as well?

so, we just got done working on "WHY" and were told you needed help over here...

but as far as I can tell, the poem looks pretty good.

I'm with Curriguy, it looks pretty darned good to me.

I still have a problem with:

the myope poet's old needy friend

Aren't all of the lines in every other poem eight syllables? It doesn't flow.

I can only agree, it just doesn't flow and it doesn't fit the iamb|iamb|iamb|iamb pattern.

Doesn't fit the meter.
The rest of the lines in the poem do.
Something's off there

Doesn't fit the meter.
The rest of the lines in the poem do.

"i tossed a corpse in soil fenced" doesn't seem to fit the meter, either.

"i tossed a corpse in soil fenced" doesn't seem to fit the meter, either.

or the image, which suggests that line should start "if" or "it".

I agree, theres something off about those lines. The first one is right though, so the second lind would have to rhyme with defend.

EDIT: I'll help but I have to have dinner first.

which picture does this one match up with?

EDIT: nm, top right -- chalice

"needy old friend" just doesn't sound right to me. I thought the last two words were "only friend" but then I could never figure out the beginning, but maybe others can work with that and see since I really haven't had that much time to work with this.

for line 2

the doe-eyed moppet's only friend

moppet = young child

good job ihavenopantson....that's gotta be it for line 2

Dunneh · Post by **Dunneh** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 8:15 am

That could be right. It's the best one I've heard so far. The first line is taken be reversing the back to the front.

DEED IF NULL YOW | A ED GEE HI STINT
YOU WILL DEFEND | IN THE GARDEN
Which becomes
IN THE GARDEN YOU WILL DEFEND

Thus all lines would be like that. It works if the line is divided like this:

ED FIR NYLON | DEED SEETHE MOP TYPO
ONLY FRIEND | THE DOE EYED MOPPETS

But it doesn't if the line is divided after DEED. Though I'm not sure where the divide lines are supposed to be.
