Each line of every verse that posters write
Should never feature more than five iambs
And should inspire a feeling of delight
Even if a line or two enjambs.

Just one line is all you need to craft
So that your powers be not unduly taxed.
And even if its sense is rather daft
Your contributions still will not be axed.

So drop on by, O neophytes of verse
And add a line to this poetic thread
I ask you to your doggerel rehearse
And all your verbal inhibitions shed.

Oblige me now, or stay forever mute!
A sonnet: let's collectively compute!

Certainly. But they must write in iambic pentameter.

Can a duck join in, or goose, or coot?
None of these, I say, will get the boot.

See?
