600 seconds at lunch - Icelandic Poets

OK firstly I am never asking my mother for a prompt again!!! I don’t know any Icelandic poets, unless Magnus Magnusson counts. Was he a poet as well as Mastermind host and dad to Sally. That fearsome black chair, ‘I’ve started so I’ll finish’ just doesn’t sound the same coming from John Humphries. X/x/x//, there that’s the catchphrase scanned, so a bit of poetry theory too. Really can’t get used to Meter, stressing and unstressing speech. Stressing me out it is! Too bad I want level three so the poems in my portfolio have to be in form and not my normal freestyle. Too restrictive for a freewriter like me but I want the qualification so needs must for a year or so. Actually mum this one worked good I am out of time.
