Who has decreed that poetry, must hold to shape and form? And who did say, it IS this way rhymed verse is still the norm? Who made the rules if not some fools too old to make their way? Where is the proof the tales of youth need metre for their say? Who made the plan, to pen iamb and count each beat on, off? Who said get set, for triolets? I'll bet it was some toff Who was the hoon, who wrote pantoums and said it must be so? And who's the man, whose greater plan said poetry must flow? When I find this clown, I will bow down and keep myself in check lest in disgrace, I smack his face or maybe wring his neck Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

hehehe...oh yeah that's me the ruler breaker, tell me what to do and I'll do something else, everytime. Although I appreciate rhyme, I'm inclined not to.... enjoyed the non-rhyme *S* |

My form is formless... but that hasn't stopped me yet. It's just one of my many handicaps!  Thanks for the reinforcement Kethry~ |

Kethry, Great; Enjoyed much. I totally agree with this..... But, the "proper" way is a great way to stretch my brain. Something I personally need to do. Haven't yet though, and may never...get to all the forms and meters...... I think some of the best poetry is non-rhymed.... Thanks, Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

What a hoot! What inspired this write? Were you trying to write a villanelle?!? LOL I do know how you feel--well, at least some of the time! Writing in a structured form, can be rather frustrating, but I often do enjoy the challenge. I have found that when I do try different formats, my poetry isn't "the same old, same old." I have a great deal to learn, but I am enjoying the process and I am thankful for the many fine teachers of literary form here at PiP. ~ happy holiday hugs EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (12-15-2002 12:55 PM).] |

Ha Keth, you wrote yours in perfect cadence and rhyming, but you're so right. Go get a gun and hunt the Deer (though I think he could explain it all)LOL I envy your flow of words dear Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |
