Great concept, tho, I really like the word 'glitterdragon'. Monica *Volcanokitten* Christensen replies: "It could propably be better, again one of those fast written ones just to get published in here. I've written more than 300 poems in both Danish and English, and I do have some fictional ones, but I most of them are about more real life situations or fiction stories, as in not fantasy or sci-fi that can fit Elfwood's theme. I like the word glitterdragon as well About rhyming...no, I won't do that. I'm not that big of a fan of rhyming, and it's not how I prefer to write them. I have a few that rhymes, but not very many. I don't mind that others rhymes, but I don't like it myself." | |

I used to hate rhyming too, but poetry was once upon a time my secondary focus in college (about 12-14 years ago- I am getting old). I didn't continue that line of study and haven't written in years, but the structured poems are very challenging and you don't notice the rhyme so much. The meaning you can hide in them is just amazing and (I'll say it again) fun. I really should study the forms again and write some more, then maybe I could actually be some use in Elfwood for cc. My major study in college is now art, but I don't have enough skill and knowledge yet for cc there. Monica *Volcanokitten* Christensen replies: "Thx for the suggestion, but it's not for me. I had to do a Google define search to figure out what triolet meant. But again it's kinda about rhyming, which I don't like, but also don't like the part with having several lines in the poem being the same. Others might like it, but it's not something for me. But it's also not really an issue, since I haven't written poems or stories for years now." | |
