| Posted by Cristy M. on 12/05/07 at 06:50 PM trying different things is well worth it. i would try to modify this style and work around it. it has a great sonic quality and an imposed prosody when you string words together or break them apart in lines. it could very well suit your purpose in another poem too. i wouldn't want you to have abandoned it. represent. |
