Poetic Ailments
irritable vowel syndrome
arrhythmia
pain in the assonance
acute enjambment
inflammation of the lower case
latinnittus
typographical dysfunction
fear of sonnets
halibunions
grammaroids
rhymetism
pundruff
the irrational fear
on entering a room
that someone is going to recite
The Lake Isle of Inisfree
in a plummy, orotund
stage Irish accent.
Taking part in Open Link Weekend over at earthweal.

Well spotted Eilene, that poem was on the high school curriculum in Ireland and maybe it still is, pretty much anybody in Ireland can and will recite it at a moment’s notice.

HA Ha ….Poetry recitals ( shudder ) No more pundruff situations for me…Poetry and poets should be seen and not heard out loud !

What a bed of eels here! I creak daily with rhymetism. I’ll add: vatic anthrophopbia, fear of being called a poet.

Very amusing Jim. A long as the walls weren’t furry, I could manage the Yeats.
