POETIC CREDO guidelines A TENSON TALK poem

CREDO-POETRY IS AN ORAL ART AT ITS BEST WHEN  RECITED
                   it then becomes a two-way unique one-off.experience .
TRADITIONAL LINE CAPITALISATION     RHYME ..in tetrameter (ABBA).YES..
but NOT otherwise as it creates a natural pause (ie it stilts) & thus disrupts the flow
WRAP AROUND LINES are a  no-no 
    they are not visually conducive to read digitally or otherwise!
POETIC NO NO s -acrostic,kyrielle terzanelle villanelle ,pantoum & the 'syllablics'
they can be good for a learning exercise,a bit like scales are important when learning the piano but are too contrived & mechanical  IMHO for our art form
PROSE POETRY ok if visually shaped in open form style*
FORMS THAT  ALWAYS  RING MY BELL shape,emagi & ekphrasis ,imagist Rhyme,alliteration,clerihew,footle&hiku*(both in the singular especially)         

*OPEN VERSE uses spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols relies upon 'the one breath limitation' this intuitive cadence pemits the 'reader' (reciter) to respond in an interpretative - interplay unique to the ' happening
