Writing a poem can cause a few headaches if you have not got enough material or if you feel that a few scribbles will do.
Whether or not you regard yourself as a mere amateur or a great poet depends on the success you have when you write online or in your notebook and private study. Often the technical side of poetry is the hardest for most people to grasp ... they have plenty of ideas and enjoy themes and flash newscasts which stimulate the imagination of the poet but then its getting it into shape in line and
stanza form and getting the rhyme to make up the time with the metre and the metre to dance with the metaphor.Prose poetry I was told is best left to Americans but a prose poem is a story poem that falls out with the stanza form the line break or the
rhyming scheme and does not bother itself too much with formatting the poem on the page ... its a bit like a dressed up paragraph for the English Poet like you or me ... excellent blog and keep on writing poems online and and all success in this wonderful adventure .... great blogging ...
