I have to look at this again when I have more time.  I had a couple of minutes and decided to read a poem.  I immediately recognized the reference to Robert Frost in your title and chose this one to read.  This is very clever and I look forward to revisiting it when I have more time.

Ain't nobody fightin' er beatin';
We's jest havin' fun... I's repeatin'!
It's how we converse:
with jabbin' in verse...
but no blood... we ain't even heatin'!

Perse,

Where there's a Doug and a Dan
You'll know for a fact that they can
With their words they amaze
They both turn a phrase
Now we're off to the races again.

Norm

Take note what ya see here, young Perse:
Norm struggles a bit with 'is verse;
'is footwork needs fixin'
when 'e's 'ere a-mixin'
wi' Limericks.  He could do worse.

In poetic fights

Daniel,

I will come back to this for crit but I have one small observation and one serious suggestion:

1) I almost read that last line re-leaved"

2) I have a few poems accepted in a rather odd publication called "The Nuthouse". They don't pay in cash but in a subscription -- at least it adds to my writing resume LOL. I think this poem is a slam-dunk to get accepted --- IMHO of course.  If you want the information let me know and I'll PM it to you.

Norm

Ain't no war betwixt Doug an' me.
It's plainer th'n day; look 'n' see!
We each now 'as strode
along this new road
a-boundin' in meter... but free.

sense a war between dan and doug
lost in the posts upon this train
a weaker man would grab the plug 
and stop this madness in my brain

yes, not quite good but enjoying the thoughts anyway

The Error Road Taken

I took a single road that split
in two directions; all at once
I found myself where now I sit
with torn hamstrings and a dunce
hat sitting atop my head.

© D. Allen Jenkins

Treading lightly, Doug

When straddling two roads in your knickers
be careful o'sharp rocks an' stickers;
when two roads diverge,
don't yield to the urge
to stay both! Ya'll drain all yer liquors!

Pickin' ya up at the fork, Lightly, Daniel  8)
