How come only the crazy people are doing all the work here? We want something in return. Write us a Dorsimbra.
Like so…1 stanza English Sonnet, 1 stanza free form, 1 stanza non-rhyming iambic pentameter. Don’t make me go get Todd and Dondi…

Time
Upon my watch, three hands tell me the time,
The mirror shows a different degree,
Forgotten thoughts with words that do not rhyme,
Meander down the road to lunacy.
Shine your shoes up!
Put on your tie!
Let’s go outside…
And find a place to fly!
Come and gone for me to see, believed,
The ocean tides, rivers wide, crimson sky,
How will I know when God has called to me?
Upon my watch, three hands tell me the time.

Oh, yeah, it also must start and finish with the same line.
Do you realize how much of my work is directly because of you?
At least a dozen good poems about the instistoogtions of government and entertainment.
You missed many of them whilst trying to create new accounts.
If I ever say anything bad, it is never at you…maybe right next to you…

DORSIMBRA
Stanza One: Four lines of Shakespearean sonnet (iambic pentameter rhymed abab).
Stanza Two: Four lines of short and snappy free verse.
Stanza Three: Four lines of iambic pentameter blank verse, where the last line repeats the first line of Stanza One.
This may be my best yet. I just wrote it and it needs no fixing…
