Q4 Clue 763 | Poems
Traditionally, St Nicholas celebrations include poems. Recognise the style of the poem – and perhaps the author/giver!
D-style
You can’t delegate this one; you have to write it yourself. Or is ChatGPT an option? The poem will be short. But bold. There will be some personal ‘jokes’ in it.
I-style
This poem can be long and woolly. Maybe even a bit disjointed, but with humour, funny jokes and witticisms. Chances are the poem itself will ‘give away’ who wrote it.
S-style
Warm and heartfelt. Also well-intentioned. But it is an excellent way of saying or hinting at something in an indirect way. Wrapped up and subtle, it makes you laugh. But it is said 😊
C-style
Skilfully written. It could be a ballad (AABB), a four-line stanza (abab), or even a mirror poem (abba) rhyme scheme… Expect little hidden personal shots at you and ‘double messages’. Read twice.
