Comment from Arnhem
I don't know a lot about meter and rhythm but I know what I like. I think its like some folk play music by ear and others read music. Classically trained or by ear if one has an ear for music than one can play it with a pen. I like your introduction to Earl Ray and I fear you resorted to the patrons of lost causes too soon. Your words sing be they slightly out of tune. I suggest you play with them and continue the search for synchronicity.

Awww Arnhem thank you so much. When you dance to the tune in your own head sometimes it doesn't matter if no one else gets it too. Hugs, Jaq xx
p.s. I will, however, keep trying :) x

Another sweet trip into meter purgatory, lol! Sweet and cute! I'm sure it accomplished the objective, to give a smile. : ) Will his page go blank when his time is up? There are some writes of his I really want to keep and don't want to lose them out of bookmarked, or anywhere. Happy Mother's Day! xx

Not sure Marsha maybe you can copy n paste if you tell him. :). That will be one of my last writes, or rites, lol whatever way you look at it. Thanks for the review girlie xxx

What do you mean your last write? Are you leaving the site, too? Have you heard about the new site started by fs members? Someone told me of it and for the life of me I can't remember the name of it.

Writers Carnival, yes I've looked in on it, thanks Marsha. xxx

Are you leaving?

We have meter men in my neck of the woods also. These tributes I've been reading for your friend make me think I missed out on someone special.

Comment from J. Dark
I love this one, Jaq. It is a very clever play on words and full of wit. I never had the opportunity to come across Ray and only found out the other day that he was a fellow Brit.
Much love,
Julie :-)

LOL, I seem to be writing poem I don't want to today. These are two of the funniest people on here and we are losing them both. :( Jaq xx
Comment from Joy Graham
I love your play on words and agree with you 100% that Ray is the meter man. I love meter so he didn't get much chance to slap my hands LOL!!! He did comment once or twice on my choice of words. We have meter readers here too but I prefer your metronome meter man for music and rhythm. I had hoped your first poem would convince Ray to stay but it sounds to me like you have given up hope??? Ray, if you are reading this, WE WANT YOU TO STAY!!!!!

Comment from adewpearl
nice play on words with the alliterative meter man
witty section on all the saints you prayed to for better meter in your writing
a humorous lament to Ray's leaving
He has left before and returned - don't give up hope :-) Brooke
