What obsolete skill are you?
You are 'regularly metric verse'. This can take many forms, including heroic couplets, blank verse, and other iambic pentameters, for example. It has not been used much since the nineteenth century; modern poets tend to prefer rhyme without meter, or even poetry with neither rhyme nor meter.You appreciate the beautiful things in life--the joy of music, the color of leaves falling, the rhythm of a heartbeat. You see life itself as a series of little poems. The result (or is it the cause?) is that you are pensive and often melancholy. You enjoy the company of other people, but they find you unexcitable and depressing. Your problem is that regularly metric verse has been obsolete for a long time.

My interview on Art Seen Asheville :
..
I make paintings and music: "The hunter who chases two rabbits misses them both. If you must
fail, fail splendidly. Hunt two tigers."
My website.
I am devoted to things that had their heyday long before I was born (figurative painting, accordion, licorice), and will probably never, ever be back in style again. It's a good life.
My paintings are represented locally by Bella Vista Art and in Bath, UK by Mauger Modern Art .
You can listen to my bands: Ashes in Order , The Mezmer Society , and Soora Gameela . When time permits, I work with the klez-mex trio Matacaballo .
And these are excerpts fom 4:4, soundtracks for short films by Lisa Shenouda. (first four videos on the page)
