Today's form is decuain. Ideally, it is in iambic pentameter and that will be your goal today. Please note, I said goal, not requirement.

If you are new to this group or contest, go here to learn more and then come back to participate in today's challenge. 

Follow these rules:

  1. Today's prompt: exercise
  2. Publish so that the date stamped is April 24th with only one stamp-date
  3. Tag with MP2012
  4. Publish to Mindful Poetry (and other groups as you wish)

Read today's submissions by others and comment. Here's the link.

Yesterday we received 18 Fibonacci poem submissions to the Mindful Poetry Contest. Here is the Poem-of-the-Day.

Good luck! Have fun! Read and comment on other contestants here.

Counting lines instead of syllables. Now this should be fun for some of our poets. I notice Stephen has already stopped by.



Featured in Triple Name Club.

Susan,
just noticed from one of the comments on your Little Crow poem that you'd introduced someone to Julie Fowils' music. good for you!
Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 24, 2012, 9:36am UTC
Thank you, Kerry. Yes, it feels good to expose those musician/artists that make my world a better place.
Kerry Dexter Apr 24, 2012, 12:28pm UTC
I've known Julie for a long time, nice to see you include her in that company.

=hands Stacey her reading glasses=

Does that help? ;-D
Thank you, Susan, but I can't put them on over the glasses I already have on my face. ;)

LOL. I do not have bifocals, but sometimes need them. Once I was at a coffee shop wearing my glasses--usually I wear contacts--and I had to put on my readers to see the computer screen.

Of course a young stud wanders by at that time, looks at me, and LAUGHS! Harumph! No young stud any longer, he was a young dope!
Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 25, 2012, 1:11am UTC
I didn't explain that well. I wore BOTH my regular glasses with my readers over the top of them.
Bleh, what do "kids" know...
Mustafa Demiri Apr 24, 2012, 11:04pm UTC
Another excellent prompt! It's just a shame that I am unable to act on as many as I would like... This has been an especially exhausting year for me. I've been working six days a week at my regular job, and have taken on some side work that takes up most of my evenings. I have just completed a huge chunk of work, and I think I'm going to stay up late tonight and catch up on reading some of the many submissions to Mindful Poetry.

You will enjoy the trimerics of last week on Wednesday, they are also jabberwocky and funny. I know how you love to laugh.
Do get some rest when you can, Mustafa.
