Four Englynion


from the ABC set Experimental Works

The first two are written in the easy form, I think !!
~~

Finally I nailed his guilt-- after years
Bawling tears at milk spilt
My guts soared, roared to the hilt.
Leaving, I felt my fear melt.

~~

Beware, the briar bush will sorely pinch.
A maw flinch in raw flush
Blood bloom, flood fingers red gush
Stain the thorn with baneful cuss

This next one I believe is called an Englyn Unodl Union.. if I have understood all the attributes correctly, very difficult to do in English. (and believe me it was hell )

Barbecues in the sun , such queues with friends
Meeting, burn meat in bun
All smoky tastes, eyed by some
Marinades, invade the tongue

~~
I haven't a clue what this one is, by this time my head was spinning and I felt like I was trapped in a maze! ((-;

Reason dies when hearts hurt, and spite will spit.
Vipers pit, venom spurt
Poison out and spouting dirt.
Lives in shreds, crisis alert...
