Writing Free Verse [E] Writing free verse is more than just writing thoughts |
HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" Hi Vivian . I'm Polter-JACE: Cruising ... , and I have the honor of reading and reviewing your offering "Writing Free Verse" in honor of your WDC anniversary. I invite your attention to the comments below. Please bear in mind these notes are from one on the outside looking in; ultimately only you can decide what's right for your story. Overall Impression. First congrats on achieving 22 years on WDC, and for all the help and support you've provided over these years. I admit to having a real love-hate relationship with poetry. I do enjoy form poetry (I feel like a monkey who can successfully mimic the rules for a specific form); I have a difficult time reviewing free verse (I've not yet conquered my fear to write such a poem). After reading your essay, I feel confident enough to try writing a free verse poem. You make a lot of sense. I especially liked your example of prose vs verse. I'll be back to read more of your poetic techniqes. Technical and Editorial Considerations. In this section I normally list those areas that relate specifically to the mechanics of your writing--punctuation, grammar, spelling, etc. I found only one error. Shouldn't this line--Kith and ken -- be Kith and kin Favorite Part. This was me ... until I re-read your article twice. "I'm lost." The questioner frowns in confusion. My Rating. 5.0. Thank you for sharing this offering, and I look forward to seeing you around in the coming year. Please accept these comments as offered in friendship and support. They are but my humble opinion. Reviewed by JACE My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
