jenny jenny addict Registered: 06/05/10 Posts: 619 Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi	Ha! GECK is an British English term that signifies a FOOL according to Shakespeare. Also, in 1933 England the term was used (provencially or obsoletely speaking) to mock or scoff; denoting scorn. And no, the person who helped me write this poem was not Donne. Gee, I've given you one clue but you want More. How many martyrs do you have over there in England anyway? Edited by jenny jenny (04/19/12 09:13 PM)

And while you're at it, be sure to read Josephine Tey's magnificent mystery novel The Daughter of Time, about Richard the Third.) I never saw anything vaguer Than a Schwartzwalder hunter, a Jäger. ...He could bring down a fox ...With a Jack-in-the-Box But preferred raiding England, with Hagar. PARSE - PASSABLE

Unsure-unknown Edit: this is the sub continental method of poetry recitation. The poet recites one line. Then he/she addresses the audience directly with maybe words like: "now listen to the next line" "Agle misre par gor kijiye". Then the poet goes back to recite the 1st line which the audience has already heard, and folllows that immediately with the second line to end the couplet with a flourish. And the audience reponds with appreciative "Wah! Wah!" Edited by Avy (04/19/12 11:14 PM)

jenny jenny addict Registered: 06/05/10 Posts: 619 Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi	Wah! Wah! Avy, Wah, wah, wonderful! Nein Doc, nicht horrible; funny and inventive? Jawohl! And thank you, Rhubarb, for letting me enjoy being smug as you pretended not to know the answer to my riddle. You knew it was Thomas More all along. UNSURE - UNKNOWN You can't see the unseen You can't know the unknown But you'd better be carefull About what you say or do 'Cause that Unseeing Eye is watching you. ---- Blues song (unsure of the artist's name) STUPOR - SUBLIMINAL

"Saints love us, of course he wants more! And while you are at it be sure ...To read Josephine Tey..." and there it breaks down. Hmmm. But with just a lit-tle tweak... "Saints love us, of course he wants more! And while you are at it be sure ...To read Daughter of Time -- ..(That's Tey's myst'ry sublime) About Richard and Saint Thomas More."

jenny jenny addict Registered: 06/05/10 Posts: 619 Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi	Wow...synchronicity! No, the meddlesome never go away, Wofa, but now I will find and read The Daughter of Time and report back. You might not be insidious but you are certainly enticing.

Avy old hand Registered: 06/23/00 Posts: 724	Wow Jenny! I never noticed. No wonder! I felt kinda evil while writing that. Edit: 667 now - boring. I would too read DOT. But it won't be avaliable here. I don't know that story. Maybe I should read shakey's RIII. I've read RII. Edited by Avy (04/21/12 05:32 AM)
