La Pie (The Magpie)

Hey, man...cool shot over here, hey.

Like that Gallic touch in there as well.


Please do keep penning, poet!

Ps. Did you intend changing articles from the title to your Gallic sentence?

Just curious, ok.

Thanks for the interest in my work- As far as they change of article - it was deliberate when I wrote it- but I probably should have altered it when I posted it. This lttle piece of doggerel is from a Restoration style verse-comedy that I wrote and directed a thousand years ago. Within the context of the play this piece is a poem sent by Daphne, a young noblewoman, to the court jester who is called "Le Pie" - who is of course a young nobleman in disguise - there's also some confusion because "Le Pie" gets the idea that it is the Dauphin, not Daphne, who is in love with him- and  romantic chaos ensues- but of course all ends tres joyeusement! How's that for asking a simple question and getting a farce?
    

Well, as for asking a simple and getting ...a farce, as you put it...
 
I'd say...just SWELL, man!
 
Cool response, poet. That tale sounds a touch of Greek mythology there now, hey....another Daphne at the river's edge..being wooed by Narcissus....
 
Dig the energy!
 
Keep pen at it, now.
 
 
Gardez la foi,
 (Whew! Damn auto-spell made me do that 4 times!)

I noticed the shift from la to le as well.  I'm not well versed in my French, but now Tidespotter has piqued my curiosity.

Another thing I notice is the change in rhyme scheme in the second stanza. Pourquoi?

At any rate, as always, I enjoyed the read and the thoughts behind the writing

As to article change- see above- as to the change in scheme- I suppose it was a matter of clarity of meaning over strict adherence to ryhme scheme- Throughout the play(again-see above) I changed rhyme schemes so as to be certain the meaning was clear- and to add some auditory interest. Plus, it helps keep the actors recitations from getting too "plodding" and helps them convey meaning rather than focusing too much on the rhyme  - and that ends today's lecture on "boring theater stuff you probably don't care about." Glad you enjoyed it mon petite coquette.

"petite coquette"

is that edible? ;)



I appreciate the clarification, as that change in rhyme scheme stuck out to me and shouted to be noticed. I thought (knowing your artistry, attention to detail and penchant for nuance)that it must be deliberate.  I was right then. You are a clever one, and I'll do well to remember that.

clever- or perhaps just very adept at slinging B.S.- the trick is knowing when it is one and when it is the other

LMAO! I think you and I are going to be very good friends!  I adore you already!
