eveglassOkay, so maybe it takes me a month to sew a simple apron-dress that doesn't even fit very well, maybe my attempts at fabric dyeing wind up with candy-colored chemises that I'm halfway embarrassed to wear, maybe I screwed up a friggin' frozen pizza tonight by forgetting to take the cardboard backing off...
...but damn it, I wrote a 216-line poem based on an actual period story, in actual period meter, in less than five hours. That's gotta be worth something, right?
(For the curious, it's a fun story from the Golden Legend featuring St. Basil, written in enjambed rhyming couplets of iambic tetrameter, the same meter I used for my poem about St. Christopher.)
