Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation. |
I responded to runningwolf04 but cut and post here instead. I believe your poll
refers to prose. Poets want something else. 1. Did you like it? 2. Can you offer any advice to strengthen it poetically. DO NOT: 3. Correct my grammar/spelling when I'm speaking in dialect. 4. Treat it as if it's a college or grade school essay or report. ADVICE: 5. If you have never written poetry or are tone-deaf and refuse to read it out-loud, do me a favor... don't review it. Send a comment instead. Comments are welcome. 6. If your only experience is English-only-speaking MidAmerica and my writing isn't... and that offends you or confuses you, don't review. But please leave a comment so I know. I appreciate comments/reviews by tight-form experts (oriental, short forms) like Tinker or free-flowing (beatnik) verse experts like ~Brian K Compton~. There are others who are experts in their chosen field. My poetic offerings lose to them all the time. But... if you're a novel-writer don't bother lecturing me on haiku... because I know you don't have a clue. K (as in Cory) 106.076 |
