Friday Fling #196 September 7th 2012<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Democratic National Convention convened. It got us thinking: did you ever attend some sort of a convention? More than one? What was the most unconventional convention you ever attended? Or if you never attended one, what do you think would be the ideal convention, or what does your muse conjure for a particularly fun convention? <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

To express your conventional thoughts, we thought it would be additionally interesting to express them in an unconventional manner with an unconventional poetry format, like a Triplet Monorhyme.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

ATriplet Monorhyme has just two distinctive features: each stanza has three lines; and each stanza’s lines end in rhyming words. That is, the end words in each stanza rhyme with each other, though not necessarily with the words ending the lines in any other stanza. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

A Triplet Monorhyme could therefore consist of just one three line stanza, or two, or more. As long as each stanza has three lines and the end word of each line in that stanza rhymes with the other two!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I hope you are still not confused about this format, because you can’t look it up. I just made it up for this challenge! See, unconventional as heck!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Here’s an example I just wrote for this challenge:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

CONVENTIONAL WISDOM<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It was never my intention
\nto attend that convention.
\nI knew ‘twould create tension.<\/font><\/p>\n

I expect a poor reaction
\nto my use of a contraction
\nlike “‘twould;” just a distraction.<\/font><\/p>\n

The truth is I can’t remember
\nwhether it was in September
\nor later, in December.<\/font><\/p>\n

In fact I can’t recall
\nanything at all.
\nThis poem was just a stall.<\/font><\/p>\n

Had this stanza been the leading,
\nthis warning you could be heeding:
\nyou’re wasting your time reading.<\/font><\/p>\n
