Come check out my ID on this site and perhaps join me and others who have jumped ship. ES is dead and buried at the moment, don't you think? I hardly ever hang out here anymore.
Thanks for the thoughts Nessie on all those poems you commented on, even though you did leave 4 of the same comment on that 'Lysergically Yours' piece lol. Ah well, never mind lol.
So, you never did tell me... how did that volunteer creative writing tutoring go for you when you were doing it?
yep, Sel is spot on! i'm actually taking english lit and philosophy, which means i'll get the chance to do modules in creative writing, but also explore lots of other exciting topics. i'm pretty excited just writing about it...
Thanks for the suggestions. I might make a few very minor tweakings, but overall I have everything as is purposely. The change in tense, the use of 'ing' (which I harness much like an alliteration), et cetera. For instance, taking out 'weeping' from the willow line totally detracts from the point I was making, which is that the forest is sad. Also, I detest breaking poems up into stanzas that are that short because I don't like to interrupt the single flowing idea throughout the poem. I only separate into stanzas if I am creating a repetition or breaking into a new idea.
