i love compound words and use them at every opportunity
i love scandinavian-sounding words
i love old, old poetry
i love rhyme but am hopeless at it
i'm a musician and love to hear music in a poem
i tend to rant when i can't think of anything (pre-emptive apologies)
i love it when people identify with something i've written, but i write for myself
i'd like to say i write when an idea comes into my head, which happens occasionally, but most of the time i make myself write about something that i have a problem with at the time, and strangely it tends to resolve things (i think it's quite obvious the way my writing falls into these two categories, i'm not sure about anyone else)
i'm reading eng lit at university.

windhover3 on November 9, 2004Saw your contest (lovely options), so stopped by. I learned this morning that English "deer" is from Old English "deor" from High German "tior" related to Old Norse "dyr". All of them meant wild animals generally...
So now I know that grumpy Eeyor
was a sort of Old English deor;
and so it finally comes to pass
that he is not, but I'm an ass.
The Swedish version of that verse would be funny, but the only words I know are smorgasboard, fjord, and lutefish... and I can't spell the last.
Happy days,

klinkie on November 5, 2004thank you much..your suggestion that "splattered" in my poem 'mirrors' was a poor choice..brilliant! i changed it to shattered..i think it fits infinitely better now. thanks so much for your attentiveness. ::loves::

hex on November 4, 2004sorry! i'm so pedantic when it comes to spelling...i know it's irritating but it makes the poem LOOK so much better (in my trivial little mind, anyway...)
