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! "
