hi shane
i went to writing4all for a week
more active than this forum
their site is being upgraded this week
give it a go
try my deserted blog at www.luabu.com
i updated it
Thanks Shane
i think the forum is important for people learning poetry and seeking advice/i found as i engaged with the forum that my poetry was changing /it is becoming more literary and informed but not necessarily better.
you have a unique style that should be protected and if i were you i would avoid well intentioned imput from the forum effecting what you have especially that concerning grammar language punctuation etc etc
it is always good to take on board how people feel about the poem ie do they like it etc
what about that story about the murder in the car /why not do what you did with your latest post and make it longer/get it published or something/I'm giving the forum a rest for a while
if you want me to look at something my email is on the website luabu.com
hi Shane
if you get a chance have a look at my post /what are words worth/you are quite a word smith and may be able to answer the question at the top of the poem/it is a question that is making me consider writing through art or another language other than english /my first love is irish
thanks
Hi Shane. Only saw the message now. Forgive me for apologizing but I just meant that very little thought went into 'Afew' and you wrote an amazing poem which a fair bit of work into I reckon.
Over and out.
