    "Poetry was thoroughly deconstructed by the end of the 20th century. I want to try putting it back together again."
    YES! Someone else who thinks this! I'm still an amateur, and thus I am far from useful in "saving" poetry, but perhaps someday, rhyme, metre, and the old styles will flourish again.

    Off to read some of your work now!

    I've added you to my favourites list, I hope that is okay with you. I thought your poem in Soldiersouls contest was outstanding. It gave me chills &I thought it was very cleverly written as well. All Best Wishes rose-quartz xx

    I love the way you commented on people's limericks. If you've read my message (the response limerick) take it to heart! You seem to be a very creative person. Keep it up! (I just love how you comment in limerick style!)
  • One Angry Monkey : Welcome on June 5, 2007
    First of all, welcome to the website. Its quite apparent from the work of yours that i've read that you are a very experienced writer. Its almost refreshing to see read the work of someone that knows thier art so well. Your twisted sense of humour is also something i tend to gravitate towards because there's simpy not enough of it around. Although it might no be so similar to yours, i often find that my sense of humour is unique, or at least an aquired taste so its nice to see something that i can connnect with such as your chocolate covered brussel sprouts.
    I'm afraid i don't know the skills of writing particularly well. I've never been taught by someone else nor by myself in the traditions of poetry. Being force fed shakespear in highschool is about as far as it goes. So I cant really tell you what makes a hiku (or perhaps even how to spell it), and i can't tell you what makes your sonnet a sonnet, but i can feel what works and what doesn't. i can see when the words are creating the right image and when they are stuggling to connect with the poeple they are meant for. And I can enjoy the asthetic pleasure of flow and rhyme and i'm particularly fond of the flow and rythm that words can create, beyond the need for music. Just the words themselves can create their own melody, which always seems to amuse me.
    So in short. Hello, welcome and goodnight (well its night for me).
