~*~ Here ya go Vicky ~*~ The happiest day of my life was the day I found p o e t r y as my release from the hell this life can be; The misery and sorrow made its way onto my paper I had awoken a part of me that had slept for years. I have written since, and I have never looked back. The day I learned to love again... was the day I learned to write. [This message has been edited by Skyfire (10-21-2002 02:08 PM).] |

Amen! I love this, Rhonda, and I love that you thought of this as your challenge topic. I think that many of us can say the same. Writing poetry definately has influenced my life, as I'm sure it has many others. Poetry is like a best friend who's always there when you need them, or a cozy blanket to keep you warm at night. Thanks so much for sharing this, and for participating in the challenge...and for suggesting the challenge. Hugs, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

Hah, nice! I was expecting at least one person to use this because they couldn't think of anything else. I almost resorted to it myself. Ioetry is indeed helpful and essential to the continuation of my life. Parasite Learn to place poetry before people |

Thanks you guys, we all love Ioetry. It wasn't cause I couldn't think of anything else, it was cause I couldn't get anything else to work for me. You are so my hero! |

Okay, all...time for a little lesson. Apparently, Rhonda is the only one here who is familiar with this form of poetry. 'Ioetry' is a form of poetry that is written about and from the perspective of the poet. This explains the 'I' at the beginning of the word, which is a reference to the poet writing in first person. This is in contrast to the usual 'P' at the beginning. The 'P' would, of course, stand for "'P'retty much everything else". Therefore, I must commend Rhonda for incorporating the name of the format into the actual content of the Ioem. Well done, Rhonda! Hugs, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |
