Free-Falling ~*Marge Tindal*~ I have fallen free free to love you or not not tethered to the past past the element of change change in degree of latitude latitude matching attitude attitude rises in altitude altitude sets me free free-falling into you you set me free free to love love only you *Found some tiny thoughts playing in the sandbox* ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (08-08-2002 09:52 PM).] |

All I know is that I have been staring at the words passed to the next line and I know there is a style name for it......I DON'T pretend to know what it is but I do know....it is amazing how effortlessly you make it seem. Balladeer mentioned a villanelle...would that be it? Hey....I am here to learn and I think I must have missed a whole bunch of classes that I need to make up. LOL Beautifully done ..... when you fall free you fall in ballerina twirl. |

Balladeer~ Thank you kind sir~ Just doing my homework ! (well ... when I'm not playing in the sandbox)  LOL @ 'couplet' ...  MarkB~ Shucks ... iffen it's got a form or style 'name' ... I missed that class too~ All I can tell you ... is that it might be that 'dancing kite' from the meadow thing I told you about ...  It took a couple of minutes to write and post ... other than that ... it was effortlessly cavorting about the meadow until I reeled it in~ Get the too the meadow my friend ... I've saved you a spot !  *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Pretty ingenious Marge. And don't let Deer pick on you either. BTW, is that called serpentine verse? And does anyone know what happened to Bob's Byway, Poetic Glossary? The page doesn't open any more. Thanks, Pete |

Ya' know what, Pete ? It COULD be that Serpentine thingy~ Good on you ... could be ... but would that make it a 'structured' piece .. ? With rules and stuff ?  OH NO ! It's supposed to be FREE !! Well ... that's my poem ... and I'm stuck to it~  Sandbox *giggles* ~*Marge*~ BYtheWAY ... I think Deer took Byway Bob's book ! Honest Injun ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Hey Marge, I'm not sure you can say "honest Injun"  anymore. That might be stereotyping a suppressed minority group or something |

I LOVE this piece - It's formatted free verse. Your presentations are always superb, Marge... I've tried to find the name of this 'wrap-around' style, but my poetic encyclopedia is HUUUUGE - I'll keep lookiing - Erstwhile, here's the Britannica definition of Serpentine Verse quote: I love to learn more stuff too...  |

Marge: Nice offering. I like the visual touch. And I think the point about free-verse is that it can be as structured or random as it needs to be to make the point you want it to make. Thanks for the read. Jim |

Marge-- I thought that this was a shape poem, shaped as a parachute. Am I the only one who saw it that way? Enjoyed! Shenachie |
