Syllabic Conventions



Read a few thoughts on syllabic conventions

Which prompted me to want to make a mention

... Not all syllables must be timed and counted

For a few phrases just don't need to be mounted

 

Some sentences tend to have their very own lilt

And extending them to match syllables - tilts ...

Writing the thoughts with taste and feeling

Can simply send the reader reeling ...



Making them all fit

Doesn't hurt one bit

But worrying it to death

Leaves one short of breath
