Poetry Writing

I tried writing a sestina, but it was a disaster so I have decided to give the Pantoum a try.  I will post my poem on here when it is done.

Keep writing–thanks for reading!

  1. The Pantoum is a wonderful structure. Very difficult however like the Villanelle. Have you read some of Henry Austin Dobson’s work? He did this style.

    I look forward to reading the fruits of your toil.
    What went wrong with the Sestina by the way, if you don’t mind me asking?

  2. Hi, Edward,
    Thank you for visiting. I tried to visit your page, but it loaded with an error–will try again later.

    I don’t know what happened with the Sestina–I was a little bored using the same words but usually I can overcome things like that. I did leave out one stanza. Maybe it isn’t the form for me. I did enjoy writing a Villanelle though.
