I've felt a tiny little empty spot in my heart as of late and I intend to fill it with your poetry.
the merits of this idea are yet to be seen.
Basically, my whole mental and emotional wellbeing depends on the quality of your poetry.
So, now that you've got that to deal with, let me at least help you out with a couple of options.
Well, they're really more of suggestions. Pick one and run with it. (go, be free!)
1] Write a poem where the words dance. Not a poem about dance, but where the words waltz or swing or something--give it character, alliteration, purpose, metaphor, and an accurate grasp of the English language accompanied with an understanding of the three syllable word. Meters, rhymes, shapes
Make it leap off of the page.
2] Go to my author page and read 'what if in as much of a which of a wind' by E. E. Cummings. Learn this style. Write a poem in this confusing, tornado of words painting a sideways picture of an event or concept. If you need help with the poem, I can totally explain it to you. It's beautiful once you understand it.
Be E. E. Cummings' love child
3] Talk to me about a thing in nature. Uno. One. A tree. A fish. A lune. Preach to me its wonders and beauties. It could be a microbe or a mountain. Just make it tangible though invisible.
Bring me a shrubbery!
4] Give me something crazy but artful--a cacophony of images sandwhiched together in some greater patchwork scheme bent on revealing a higher truth. Run your words together, go figure out what a Caesura is and use it as God intended, cut phrases apart and riddle the page with sticky caps for all I care.
Give me picasso on a typewriter
Rules...because we must have rules
1--profanity to a minimum, if you will. It's not that I'm offended, it's just that I know you can articulate yourself far better than a four letter, one syllable word used as every part of speech (rant over)
2--no erotica or adult nonsense. Does it have it's place? yes. That place is over there somewhere. not here.
3--Write the option in your author box so I don't get all confused and flibbertigibbet... It also gives me a nice perspective before I read--sets the stage, if you will...
4--no pictures, please... If I wanted a picture, I'd go find one. I'd like to use my imagination on this one, thank you
Anything other than that is fine. Yes, even your beloved sticky caps. Be warned, though, Chatspeak makes me want to shove a thesaurus down your throat, but if you must...
Best of luck.
Much Love.
