Wow, thank you

That feels very difficult to me, but I might give it a go just for the challenge

Naturally, I have it inside down...

Apparently, I write a lot of free verse, not so much blank verse. I interject rhyme at will, and though there is usually a recognizable meter, it may syncopate or do other tricks from time to time.

Re: Re: The picture is very cool... and hot!

Actually, it is an issue that confuses a lot of readers and poets, but blank verse and free verse are not the same. I am sufficiently confused still to be unable to tell you right now what blank verse is, as opposed to free verse. I do recall that I prefer free to blank, however.

sigh... now I have to go look it up...

Anyway, it may be that one is better for your tastes and talents than the other.

Re: Sam

Thank you - I intended this one to be about as subtle as a slap in the face with a wet fish....

Re: The picture is very cool... and hot!

thanks Ciel!

To be honest I am not really comfortable with blank verse - I never really got to grips with it as a reader very well so I am a little unsure about trying to write it... I am actually wondering about doing a poetry course as I am woefully ignorant of poetic forms and methods... I just write what feels right

The poem suits it well!

I've been reading down through your poetry, and I wonder, have you tried free verse? Sometimes the necessity for a rhyme really inhibits the message of a poem. The rhythm and the imagery are what make poetry.

Re: Strong words

Thank you, the picture was a bit of a find - what would we do without photobucket? Shame i don't know the artist or I would happily credit them. The poem I had fun with... every now and then I like to write something to bring my poetry back down to earth
