CONVERSATION TENSON FORM is a (talk poem)ie inthis exaple verbal interview in words 

"say Brian"
 about these
no no's
in your blog"

"Yes"

 "what's wrong with wrap-around
lines?"

 " well,many things but mainly
they are not visually
conducive to read here
as poetry"

"Ok,I see that but what have
you got against those five forms
you list,you know
acrostic,
kyrielle
terzanelle
villanelle
&pantoum? "

 "Nothing against them
as such,they are
good for a learning
exercise,a bit like scales
are important when learning
the piano"

 "So why not in your contests?"

 "For my taste,they are too contrived
and mechanical"

 "Yet you like shape& concrete
verse!"

 " Indeed,my one weakness!
they combine my two true loves
art&poetry"

 "Yet you appear
 to dislike prose poetry!"

 "I don't dislike them as such,
I just don't like to
read them in a poetry contests"

 "What about political pc &
woke poetry you mention as no no's?"

 " It's not why I visit the site
each day,I get enough of that elsewhere!"

"You seem very dogmatic about your
contests"

"After sponsoring 1170
over the years
I've gotten
to know what I like! "
