William Kelii Kekaula January 24, 2023 at 6:35 PM Wow, Linda, thank goodness for moms, from a clueless poet/guy, Aloha William Linda Alice Fowler January 25, 2023 at 6:12 AM Ha! William. I taught my nephew to sew as soon as he showed interest in what I was doing. He was more interested in how the machine worked than in specific stitches. LOL

Jim Slaughter January 24, 2023 at 10:52 AM I don't know this style, Linda, but I think I like it. Linda Alice Fowler January 24, 2023 at 11:06 AM Hi Jim. The Footle form was created by our colleague, Brian Strand. I recommend searching for, and reading some. There are fine examples by many PS poets/esses. The definition is under Types of Poems on this site. They're fun and addictive! I can't wait to read some of yours! Get busy! ;)
