Dribble Verse #3: Contractions

WHB: Pen & Crayon – 2021

Continuing my, for fun, experimentations with newer verse forms, here is my third attempt at DRIBBLE VERSE.

The dribble is a brief poem consisting of exactly 100 letters (not 100 characters—spaces and punctuation are not counted).  Dribbles most often take the form of a quatrain that turns on a single rhyme and usually provide a humorous observation on a mundane or unconventional subject, but like the haiku or sonnet, some modern poets adhere only to the counting aspect of the form  . . . The name of the dribble is derived from the micro-fiction form known as the drabble, a story consisting of exactly 100 words.

Dribble # 1: Contractions

‘I wouldn’t, I didn’t, I couldn’t’, (22)
I shouted in wild distraction. (25)
I knew that I really shouldn’t, (24)
Because they are all contractions. (29)
