F is for Folderol
An old word for silly when
Something must be said though
No language is required
Folderol, la, my dear
Folderol, ha, be near
Okay, few words—mostly
Un-worded sounds are sung
Maybe to fill in a fear, if
Singers think there should
Be a lyric, and none shows
While love is there, shouting
In the mind
E is for Erato
(the muse of love poetry)
We breathe in and out our
Bodies matching moving hearts
Delight in joined revealing
Opened and shared at last
Love lingers, and that’s important
But in this time it’s passion
Sending a siren-song whose
Magic we shall not escape
‘Til breathing slows and sacred
Act eases into other life
D is for Dactyl
A metrical foot consisting of an accented syllable followed by two unaccented syllables; the words “poetry” and “basketball” are both dactylic. Tennyson’s “The Charge of the Light Brigade” is written in dactylic meter.*
Into the Valley Relentlessly
Tennyson’s name is dactylic and
Powering into the cavalry riding in
Symmetry into the broken lines
Forcefully facing foes orderly
If much less pow’rfully
Others have dactyl-ly crafted this
Metred way so that a moving sound
Makes rhythm stronger thus
Aiding the pounding desired in the
Poetry
Dactyl for your verse and also
In mine
