Be taught to teach no rhyme in foot	                                                               
Could I write A little neater tutor                                                                                        
a good writ does not think he pens paper                                                                       
My spelling is what you say professor                                                                          
Wrong no sense trying to argue that point

Andrea Dietrich February 5, 2010 at 9:02 AM hahaha, you are trying,you are trying at least! Yes, in reply to your one question about story telling, I would dearly love to write a novel. I have many short stories I'm making into a book right now. The problem is that I can rarely get anybody to buy one of my many poetry chapbooks,How would I ever find a publisher for a novel??? Luv ya, Andrea

Carolyn Devonshire February 4, 2010 at 9:04 AM As a former teacher, I can appreciate your sentiments, John. And I admire the way you seek to "learn from the best." Great thoughts, John! Also, Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen can give you some pointers on formatting a "shape" poem. She has one about a cat where she actually shaped the cat. Love, carolyn

Nick Bagnall February 4, 2010 at 4:14 AM Interesting idea, a poem about and containing all the things wee do wrong in peotry - unless I've misunderstood ?
