I prefer raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Also, rock 'n roll--I just added a dime to the jukebox.

Thanks,

I disagree with Janice. I think Bill Lantry got the right answer. Though I also disagree with Bill, whose favorite dog is really the Scottish terrier. I just love opinions. So fun.

I haven't got one. An opinion, that is. I'm defenestrated. Truly.

I'm suprised no one's spoken up for ABBA. They've sold 370 million albums worldwide.

To try to answer Stephen's question (though I'm a bit confused as to whether "rhyme scheme" = "form"): I seem to gravitate particularly to rondels and ghazals. Don't ask me why.

Also I mess around with: monorhyme; rimas dissolutas; domino rhyme; virelai post-moderne; etc. And, having been brought up on the masters of light verse, I work to get away from perfect end-rhymes.
