Free verse usually just escapes any of my attempts to sculpt it; it's like trying to catch mercury. I just let those flow.Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-46360722155860879672011-08-05T14:42:21.732-04:002011-08-05T14:42:21.732-04:00Easy - I don't!

But, in my senior year I wrote a poem where the first letter of each line spelled (Going down) "WTIT is the station abreast of the world situation". It got recalled and those who already received it made money by selling it to those who didn't. Of course, I made nothing on it...Bud Weiser, WTIThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333989186132063905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-61656639163859555452011-08-05T13:18:08.075-04:002011-08-05T13:18:08.075-04:00Nice to see familiar faces popping in.

Sometimes it rhymes, sometimes it's stream of consciousness, often it's fiction and more often, the truth under the fiction...sometimes, it's all said in the spaces between the words...and then there's haiku. You are one of my haiku muses.

Well, not good poetry, anyway.<br /><br />To wit,<br /> http://philosophyofklo.blogspot.com/2010/02/poetry-is-not-my-medium-but.html<br /><br />Interestingly, though, I LOVE reading and analyzing poetry. I could spend days just reading poems and thinking about them ... and sitting in awe of those able to write with such lyrical gift.<br /><br />I actually got to teach a poetry course (a senior English elective) a few years ago, and that was a great experience. I learned a lot about the different types of poems and how to approach writing poetry and the history of poetry, and so on and so forth.<br /><br />I taught a lot of kids how to write better poetry, but I wasn't a good enough teacher to achieve that height myself ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955854427063032485noreply@blogger.com
