Looking into it I found Dr Seuss used the anapaest style. This style sounds like this, well at least when it is using Tetrameter.
- The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold
- And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold
- And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea
- When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
- As you can see it has a nice rolling style to it, and i feel that will suit my production well. Hopefully I can write something really interesting using this style. It will be a challenge writing in such a way as i have never done any official poetry, and have only rhymed on a casual basis. I also wonder how well this sort of rhyming will work for a back and forth conversation as there will be between my main character and the main pineapple hat wearer with whom he speaks.
