Skeleton Takes a Tumble
Skeleton Takes a Tumble
Skelton was the first
to write lines so terse.
He claimed the new verse
meter diverse.
A means to traverse
words to converse
instructions immersed,
a blessing or curse.
The energy high,
even thought spry,
short lines that's why.
In Scotland he reigned, King James VI of old
also a poet, he wrote something bold,
with Skeltonic lines, he doubled the mold,
more musical sound, two parts, I'm told
with tumbling poesy, end-sounds that hold
until complete, then changing the rhyme.
I play with the meter, it isn't a crime,
this Tumbling verse, a pleasant pasttime.
