The Foolish Toads
The rules were: it had to be in iambic pentameter it should have a renaissance theme only animals excluded from zootopia bonus: if you mention quebec (in honor of a canadian fur who could not attend) ========== the foolish toads
A Hunter's Anguish (Poetry)
(it's a spencerian sonnet in iambic pentameter if you know the technical stuff). well i hope you like it and have a great day! a hunter's anguish i chase, running as a wind unrestrained, through the forest, the swamp, the endless sea.
Hue and Cry
The couplet is the traditional iambic pentameter. i like using dactylic meter because it's dramatic, especially when reading it. the stressed syllables are in bold if you want to try it!
Never Endeavor
Felt like channeling my inner shakespeare by writing in iambic pentameter. only difference is i'm less than a hundredth of what shakespeare was and i'm pretty sure he never wrote in such a gothic tone.
First Command
The couplets are in iambic pentameter and trochaic tetrameter with masculine rhymes. i feel the turn at the end is sudden, but overall i'm happy with this one. will the **trance** follow **up** with a **fitt** ing comm **and**?
Ballad of the Otter War

The Holy Mountain of Vengeance
#4 of poetry dactylic pentameter (i think that's the correct classification for this?) is really good for doing a mythology in.
A Far Green Country
How often have I dreamed of such a place? How often have I seen those emerald fields, And in that dream, forgotten that I dreamed, That I would wake, had woken, and my life Dissolved into a peaceful deja vu That cannot be remembered? I can...
Ghost of the Western Cretaceous Sea
You look around you and you see the peaks. You see the pine heights and the softer trees That flower on the lower, lesser steeps. You see the little rivers, shire-wise, That gently carve the foothills. And the sweep At last of desert floor....
Obituary Instructions
Do not call me an angel, when I'm gone. Mourn me, revere me--or not, as you choose-- But as the human person that I was. An angel is a pure celestial thing Too absolute and too ethereal For earthly things like woe or weariness, For home and...
Ragnarok - XV
The short pithy statements and interruptions still fitting into the iambic pentameter is profoundly satisfying.
