Celtic poets valued alliteration rather than rhyme. Hebrew poets valued writing a saying and then it's opposite to emphasise the meaning of the first. Rhyme and meter do assist retention though. ------------------ "Check the sustain on this one ... aaaaaaaa, I mean you could go out for a bite and there'd still be aaaaaaaaa" "Can I touch it?" "No. It can't be played" "Can I look at it? "No we've seen enough of that one....." A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

The bed
it calls me draws me Slumber shall befall as I rest my weary head engaging in a sleep of the dead? I hope not Thunder sounded this morning 'fore I rose round six or so And all in this house and houses all around I'm sure were wakened by the fall of rain The thunder was like bombs Yet bombs sound like thunder I wonder if it's good for my health or wealth to wonder I waited for response It looks as though in vain My strength begins to wane and I'm falling asleep Goodnight. |
