James, from Nan's Poetry Workshop, a Rictameter is, quote: So much fun can be found in performing different styles - Rictameter being one! It forms a nice diamond appearance from 2, 4, 6, 8, to ten, 8, 6, 4 2 ~ magic is found! Voila! |

Thanks everyone for your help and your kindness about this: Just like healing...learning is a process, too. So, I had to make a big fat giant mistake in front of everyone. Oh well, I learned a valuable lesson and now I am going to the classroom. Better go there before I attempt a Haiku, huh? LOL At least I am laughing about this...the old me would have hid away and would have never come back...or at least I would have changed my name because of my ignorance. LOL Gotta laugh about this one... Patricia |

Patricia, this was a very pretty poem. I enjoyed reading it. About the form, there are some of the forms back in the classroom that I just can't seem to get. You are an excellent writer, so you will learn them, I know. And, write them with lots more meaning than I do, I'm sure. I'm glad I was part of your inspiration, though. Hugs  Ethel |

Patricia~ We'll be soooooooooo glad to have you in the Workshop ! Now let me clue you in ... 'sometimes' the class gets a little rowdy ! LOL ! AND for the first week you get to clean the erasers ... but, after that ... we get to play on the playground ... and that's oodles of fun ! (Ya' gotta turn in your homework first ... but I hafta admit ... ya' learn LOTS and LOTS of new forms) Shhhhh, don't tell Teach I said that ...  Join me on the merry-go-round. I'm the dizzy blonde~  *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Aha! I found it! This poem is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes--literally! I have gone through a similar process and you have expressed it so incredibly well. I read the replies that this lovely poem has gotten, and as you can see, it was well-received. As far as the rictameter form, Sunshine and Marge have kindly laid out the format for you. I think it is marvellous that you are joining the workshops! I have not done that as yet, but I most likely will at some time! As far as your comment re you making a boo boo in front of the world! LOL Welcome to the club! We all (well most of us!) do! It is all part of the growing process as a writer! I have learned soooooo much through trial and error! Like you, I used to take things too seriously and I might have had to lick my wounds when I made a faux pas, but both you and I are not taking ourselves as seriously now and life is so much easier and enjoyable! Go with the flow and enjoy the ride! Again, I must say how much I enjoyed your poem--it was full of heart, soul--and truth! Warm hugs for a warm heart, Linda |

and here I thought a rictameter was a device to measure how much wood one had stacked up for the winter... nice thoughts Patricia...and whether it fit form or not, it is a nice piece... I enjoyed |

Hey Patricia...now it's YOUR turn to encourage Earth Angel to get her fanny into Poetry Workshop...not that she needs it or anything, but you know the old saying...the more the merrier! |
