Good morning class You’re here to learn today On how to write in the modern way So violets are blue and roses are redder Will be dumped in the paper shredder ~ Poetry is art, there’s no bad or good It doesn’t require to be understood So mix up your images, unique and sublime No need to be clear, explicit or rhyme ~ Throw all the adjectives high in the air Now close your eyes and pick a few pair ’My pregnant tongue rests where moon sheep are grazing’ Wow! That’s a goodie, it’s simply amazing ~ Explain your emotions, a great idea Delve deep in your soul, exhibit your fear What dark secret are you’re willing to share We all want to know what’s lurking in there ~ The only rule, the one condition is never to write for recognition Don’t dare to dally with riches or fame The honest poet never writes for gain and our prose is for those On a far higher plain A little pop at creative writing classes, I am sure they are not all like this one, are they? |

Simply follow the bluesy brick road to Balladeer's poetry workshop. It could use a good 'shot in the arm'. You'll amaze him Cari. She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

I like this. It is my feeling that when Ezra Pound hijacked rhyming poetry, and tore it apart in his "Creative Writting Class" It was the beginning of the end for everyday people to read, understand, and most importantly enjoy poetry. I, personally have a hard time writting poetry in the Longfellow/Frost kind of way...I have trouble getting the end lines to rhyme without sounding forced.. I can't write like this... "Come, read to me some poem, Some simple and heartfelt lay, That shall soothe this restless feeling, And banish the thoughts of day." Longfellow-"Day Is Done" I did enjoy your poem Story line, and flow....:-) "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." Carl Sandburg |
