These Are My JOTtings...

For The Love of Iambic Meter

Is there a love of meter fine
that helps the tongue to walk?
I love to share this love of mine
and pleasantly to talk.

'Tis true I-amb in metric form,
when write this lilting way.
The words be few or verbose storm
when much I have to say.

Would thank thee much for reading this
short ditty quickly writ
For poetry's the land of Bliss,
when words are quick of wit.
