Now I remember...
It was the movie 'Camelot'. That is what I was thinking of when I wrote "It's Spring".

CC, you're just a little too sophisticated for me.
(but all you English are) that is why you are so fascinating!
"If I want the "HONEYED" version, knock THREE times"? Hmmmmm
Lover, tell me
what you mean....Do you HAVE a similar version? You know, I wrote "It's Spring" after watching a movie... can't remember the title, on tip of my tongue/ but was about King Arthur and Guinevere? Somebody help me, here...

Re: Maybe it's belligerence but I just cannot train myself
If you are a true poet, it is probably "belligerence" (thanks for spelling that for me).
I am still learning 'scansion'. I think it is nice to have something to 'lean' on, like a support, so that is why I consider it most of the time in my poems. I have only been seriously writing for two years (this Sept). I can look back now and compare what I did with NO count and my work is better. So I count.

Well PP. I don't dare think what you will be writing when it is Spring. There is a certain freshness about this poem and delightful naivety that intrigues even if one does not want it too. If you want the honey version knock three times.

Re: counting syllables
You know, it's strange, but once I learned to 'count' is difficult for me to do it any other way. I had a terrible time understanding iambic pentameter. But once I 'got it' now is hard for me to write otherwise. I think "free verse" (the type of stuff you do is much more difficult), ie if it is done well.

I like the way you always count your syllables, how everything fits. I used to that years ago but felt that I lost the feeling I was trying to get out. Thanks for helping me with bacon today, it must have been a typo as it was spelled correctly when I jotted it down.
