poetry class

I finished my last paper for my poetry class and my last poem. I loved this class and now hope to continue writing, writing, and writing.

Ars Poetica

Choosing words to express feeling
rhyming words or use of form
cluttering the head with rules of meter
worry for fear it is wrong

Allowing words to flow on paper
even if they don’t make sense
gives the poet something to mold
something to create and shape

Critique and comments are most helpful
when they are used to polish
words that already are on paper
that need a fresh approach

Manipulation of words form poetry
maybe beautiful or not
rewriting a poem can cause magic
when the words say what you want
