I want to hear a different voice recite my poems
The one inside my head doesn’t always get it right
I want a different style, one that is not always sing-song
I want to see the reflection of my soul in a different light
I need to learn to write again, to hear it differently
To Scat, To Rant, to rearrange in perfect mastery
If I could hear a different voice I could sing a different song
One that I could be proud of, far after the reviewers have gone.

To be able to write a Palindrome, a Villanelle or a Clerihew
This is something I would like to do
To Write in Monorhyme, or even a Haiku
Or even pull a Sonnet out of my Bonnet…
T’would be sure to fill my need

If I could find my different voice and apply it just so.
Oh the roads I could paint within my words
Oh the places I could go.
What an Epic tale it would be.

You are about to be amazed.....everything will be different, and different from what you expect!

You'll find that whatever standards you had "back when," don't hold a candle to the ones you have now (some of which you won't even realize you have until well into it)....and you'll have tools you didn't have then, though you will have lost some along the way as well. When I did this, I found that after the initial culture shock, I did very well....and somewhere along the line I had learned to write in a way that made me really stand out, a very useful thing in term-paper land.....

You are hereby ordered to give us PiPsters a full accounting!

And Jennirey, I am wishing for you
a happy journey with miles of pen and ink!
Senryu and Haiku are two of my favorite forms! Just say a paragraph in a few words, cut out all the 'extras'
