Introducing The Revolutionnary Oxford Free Verse

Designed for the ultimate reading experience,
this poem can accelerate from 0-60 words in half a page.
And, as you’d expect, contains the very latest
in poem technology.
Servo assisted metaphors.
Electronically controlled alliteration.
And shatter-proof, heated rear images.
When you buy Oxford, you know you’re getting quality,
reliability and solid, cliche-proof construction.
Incorporating the latest aerodynamic forms,
The Free Verse is built for the 21st Century.
Gone are those days of riding bumpy metre.
No more cramped AABA membership.
No more couplets in dark lines.
With the new internal rhyme scheme,
there’s time to relax.
(The stereo rhythms are fitted as standard.)
Listen to the steady hum of the two-letter assonance
as you glide down the journey of your page.
With the modern dash - everything is clear.
Neatly typed.

And double-spaced.

Check your enjoyment level at a glance.
Family?
There’s room for the kids and teddy too
in our spacious stanzas.
So don’t ‘iou get caught with enjambment.
Be informed.
Come and talk to us about The Oxford.
It’s free.
