Flex Your Writing Muscles: TROCHAIC QUADRAMETER

We're going to write a group poem. Let's see how far we get! (Come one, come all -- lots of talent here! Don't be shy.)

Quick refresher:

Trochaic = a 2-beat poetic foot with the first syllable accented (DA-dum)
Quadrameter = 4 poetic feet per line

So Trochaic Quadrameter sounds like this:

DA-dum DA-dum DA-dum DA-dum

or DA-dum DA-dum DA-dum DAA

Okay?

I will write the first 2 lines in the comment box.
Each participant must write the next two lines.

So that each stanza will have been written by 2 people.

Rhyme pattern will be ABCB.

Clear as hot cocoa? Let's play!
