And V becomes a lemming

[vvvexation]

Ordinarily I take these quizzes just for kicks without actually bothering to post the results, but this one I just had to. It's exceedingly spiffy.

I am the sonnet, never quickly thrilled; Not prone to overstated gushing praise Nor yet to seething rants and anger, filled With overstretched opinions to rephrase; But on the other hand, not fond of fools, And thus, not fond of people, on the whole; And holding to the sound and useful rules, Not those that seek unjustified control. I'm balanced, measured, sensible (at least, I think I am, and usually I'm right); And when more ostentatious types have ceased, I'm still around, and doing, still, all right. In short, I'm calm and rational and stable - Or, well, I am, as much as I am able. What Poetry Form Are You?

Be sure to read the other descriptions as well....though I'm disappointed that they didn't include the ballade and villanelle.



In other news, I just found that one of my interests is shared by exactly 42 people. This amuses me for very little reason.

I am heroic couplets; most precise And fond of order. Planned and structured. Nice. I know, of course, just what I want; I know, As well, what I will do to make it so. This doesn't mean that I attempt to shun Excitement, entertainment, pleasure, fun; But they must keep their place, like all the rest; They might be good, but ordered life is best.
