No stranger than a sonnet or a limerick or even iambic pentameter.

No way could I better Mary Mc's beautiful and evocative work, so was aiming for something a bit JRish, centered around radiators and floating livers, but, instead, came up with
Scabby, itching knees
Showing between skirt and socks
On hill to Ashbourne
Crumpled, blood stained cloth
Clutched between trembling fingers
As bully approaches.
OK, getting far too maudlin. A nice glass of 5 star Martell's while I watch New Tricks should help.
