Ashley lives in Titusville, Florida where she works as a high school English teacher.
Today, in the spirit of wishing, she inspires us to write a double dactyl poem. You can read her full prompt here. This whimsical form of poetry is made of two quatrains.
- Line one is a pair of nonsense rhyming words
- Line two introduces the subject of the poem (often a name)
- Lines one through three and five through seven contain two dactylic metrical feet
- Lines four and eight have one dactyl plus a stressed syllable
