Episodes of discontent
jostle for recognition;
Favouring this method
...or that.
Each, with its own unique
ability; Beautiful in form
short sweet and to the point;
Japan speaks in pictures.
Lyrically, we write as the
song takes us; Into the realms
of rhythm and soul... hugging
emotions tightly.
Love.. rises as on wing; With
sonnets of metre and might,
flowing as a tide; that ebbs
gentle words.. to cherish.
Uninhibited.. I write as in
free-fall; I plunge into
the unknown, as a poet
who learns by the words..........

Thank you Nova,this was written a while back and my punctuation was very crude then....it is not much better now but I have been back and edited, so that the lines don't seem so broken. Hope this helps
ps Many thanks for your kind words

Wow. Impressive.
Although I failed to understand why you broke some of the lines when you did (and was bothered by it at times), I must say this was otherwise masterfully written. I simply loved your second stanza. This piece also made my mind work, which is always great. Simple awesome. Write more, please.
Thanks for the comments on my column. -
Thank you
Yes you are right thank you for the applause

Nicely done
I really enjoy the challenge of writing in a form, it helps me to organise my thinking too. Really well-done free verse also has an internal discipline, which I think you understand.
In "too the point" I would use to.

Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it

really great...just really really great

Thank you These art forms I hope to learn, The Haiku intrigues me by it simplicity but also by it's complex variations. Many thanks for your review, I greatly appreciated it
-
Thank you I will agree with you and echo your words, this is not my best write, it is a different write for my style of writing and it was a major move for me
Thank you for your support, it is appreciated

Thank you Moses, I am still working as a sleep walker with both arms held out to find the pitfalls but encouragement helps and so do words of wisdom. Many thanks for your words

Thank you and yes when I add and then type, if I want it bold it is underscored and if I want italic , I click on the italic button and it comes up with the \ before typing. I am glad you enjoyed this, thank you for your kind comments

Thank you I enjoyed writing this as I have learnt so much in the short time I have been here. I hope to learn more

Thank you

Sometimes writing in form, whether it be a villanelle or a sonnet or a simple haiku, can be extremely satisfying, even exhilarating, if at the end of the disciplined restrictions of writing within a particular form you find that you have crafted a very good poem.
And you are so right ~ a poet learns by the words. So writing in structured form is good exercise; it produced words and it hones your talents.
Good poem.

I've been learning about different forms since joining this site. They are facinating. You describe a few fairly well here. I don't thinks it's your best write, but it was certainly an nice piece that can speak to poets. We do learn by the words we write. I thought that final line was the best in the whole poem.

Good job with this - I like the way you approach life episodes as "jostling for recognition" and writing methods being favoured "this way or that" - and the "free fall" description of writing was pure genius. Excellent composition.
Best wishes,

I thought this form was fantastic. Truly. Were the / to make it italic, because I can never get that to work for me either? lol. You have such a beautiful form of writing that I don't see all that often. Extremely lyrical in style.
