Gambit:the rhymes

How can I find rhymes for gambit?

How can pentameters be iambic?

I am sure to discover

One way or another

But alas the Government has  banned it.

Iambic is as Greek to me,

As to the English is drinking hot tea.

We boil the kettle on the fire.

As we empathise with a liar.

Iambic  is schizophrenic you see

In my case I’m  not Bic  I am Shaeffer

I believe  pens drink ink on a wafer.

For ink is their Saviour

And improves their behaviour

If no plates passed,what the hell is that tray for?

Mimesis:the verses

A wonderful  new word is mimetic

Unsuitable for the mental diabetic

It makes one seem  scholastic

Without being monastic

In the right voice it may  sound charismatic.

Mimesis is  imitation of a kind

Which Plato and Aristotle defined.

My nieces  are fans

They writes theses when they can

So new words   swim around in their minds.

Do you promise to say mimesis tomorrow?

Or does the idea fill your  head up  with horror?

I agree it is hard

Write it down on a card

Mimesis,mimesis,no worries.

Well,mimesis has had it’s own day

Tomorrow I go out to play.

I will buy myself fruit

And  through the paper I’ll root.

As I roast in a single sun ray

Mimesis:word of my day

Alternative title: imitation

Mimesis, basic theoretical principle in the creation of art. The word is Greek and means “imitation” (though in the sense of “re-presentation” rather than of “copying”). Plato and Aristotle spoke of mimesis as the re-presentation of nature. According to Plato, all artistic creation is a formof imitation: that which really exists (in the “world of ideas”) is a type created by God; the concrete things man perceives in his existence are shadowy representations of this ideal type. Therefore, the painter, the tragedian, and the musician are imitators of an imitation, twice removed from the truth. Aristotle, speaking of tragedy, stressed the point that it was an “imitation of an action”—that of a man falling from a higher to a lower estate. Shakespeare, in Hamlet’s speech to the actors, referred to the purpose of playing as being “…to hold, as ’twere, the mirror up to nature.” Thus, an artist, by skillfully selecting and presenting his material, may purposefully seek to “imitate” the action of life.
