An englyn, a fib and a clerihew, with pictures.


Grey goose - englyn

Grey goose eliding through sleek water flow
bubble-bow-wave breaking to
soft silver patterning.  Who
could lay gold eggs, if not you?

Alder - fib

Cones
and
catkins
water's edge
festoons and emblems
alder holds both spring and winter.

~~~



Bayard - clerihew

The great horse Bayard
Could jump very far,
He belonged to the four brothers Aymon
And French fire hydrants often have his name on.
