I like forms that take on a certain shape. Lately I've been reading a lot of Dickinson; very block-like structures and indenting. lately that's came up in my writing and i like the effect. like rictameters and those kind of poems because of the overall shape, but I do admire the skill required in sonnets. That's the most difficult thing for me, perfect meter. |

I like partaking of forms that are Structured, that use Repetition, Rhyme, Meter and such, also that are Stanzaic (use stanzas). I like writing in forms that have a format to them, that have stricter requirements. I like to challenge myself, as such, to see if I can not only meet the strict form requirements, but also, write well (a good poem) in that strict format. Also, I like forms like these, because such things as Rhythm, Rhyme, Repetition, and Meter have long been staples of poetry and at the base and part of the building blocks of the genre, and I want to be as proficient as I can in those essential aspects. For, the better I am at some of poetry's basics, enssential building blocks, the better I am, or will be, at poetry!!! |
