Channeling The Flow
|
Channeling The FlowThere are a good number of wordsmiths and free thinkers in this note-worthy poetry site. Papa should be proud of what he's gathered here.We should by all means be ready to help each other improve our craft and as is the case with most of us, the desire to invest more time and focus on writing is resident within our souls. I would like to see myself giving back into this place what ever creative insight God has blessed me with. I 've been getting folks asking to critique their work from time. I'd like to do that, but let's channel the flow into this thread which I can more easily monitor. Bless you. Last edited by NevillePark 03-22-2010 at 06:41:19 PM |

Sonnets anyone?There will be others here establishing formats of approach; lessons and exercises to work on together. I have no formal education which qualifies me for anything at all. Regardless I have some useful insights from time to time and I strive to implement proper grammatical structure in whatever I write. I think we can all eventually learn to get into the swing of things in giving and receiving constructive advice as long as we know that's the freedom we have. Meanwhile I'd like to start a project. I've wondered about writing a SONNET. I was on a site yesterday on the Sonnets of Shakespeare. I'll share more, but let's gear up to write one this week. Google sonnet and start constructing.~NevillePark |

"If words could weave a fisher's net" is a sonnet with a couplet finishing it off. Ole' Willy was the sonnet master, but the language can be tough (or that just could be my youth talking). |

RE: Channeling The FlowI'm here for class, Brother Neville! |

RE: Channeling The FlowI've been wanting to try my hand at this for a while now. But I don't know, all my attempts have either turned out totally different or fell flat. |

TIPS - (Somewhere around 10 or 15 percent ?)I believe in thoughtful content and deliberate clarity as being key elements with written communication ... if only to stave off the clouds of confusion and ambiguity. It's been a tradition in classrooms since forever to "find your own meaning" with the classic works. We tend to want to pick the authors brain in postmortem fashion.There likely is justifiable cause with most- because the order of things was different "back then" as well as having details hard to come by. Weaving word puzzles into a work is a big part of the enjoyment for both the reader and the writer. However there's a line I believe which when crossed, a writer excludes the reader by "hoarding understanding" ... something in the order of having an inside joke. I believe anything written can be mysterious and at the same time user friendly. It's a big part we play in making sure we avoid reader confusion with word choices that don't aptly describe, or have neglected to check spelling and proper phrasing.

Tell you what my man! I can take lessons from you any day. I'm hoping to see you pitch in and help where you see the need. I'll check out your offerings. You're away ahead of most everyone - Drop in your best as a reference point for us all. |

Sonnet 0Here is my sonnet. The meter may be a little different from what a Shakesperean sonnet should be, but there some latitude permitted in a Shakesperean sonnet. The imagery is taken from Psalm 133, and the idiomatic ''baby'' could be replaced with the word ''lover''. This is my contribution to the world of ''viagra'' poetry! LOL What do you think? |

RE: RE: Channeling The FlowQuote: RAIN OR SHINE, NEVER BE LATE FOR CLASS!.......... No chatting in class either only asking and answering questions, listening, thinking and absorbing. You may play the role of teacher, when the teacher is not around. Of course, ideas from students are encouraged, as evidence that you are eager to learn or to share what you know.......

Neville, this, your mission statement is erudite, and clearly well written. It is very explicit. However , please re-read and edit your last sentence: It's a big part .....etc........

Sonnet 0 A votive offering at your altar, Of manly, egocentric pride; A sacrifice I make in earnest, Oh baby, let me come inside! The sweet annointing of your bosom. Down my garments to my feet; The burning embers of your passion, I bow before your mercy seat. Too long you've left me in this dungeon; Too distant to be satisfied; The raging passion overcoming, Hope deferred and love denied; Enflamed I am with raging passion, Oh baby, let me come inside! This is a delectable sonnet adhering to the Petrarchan mode - an octave plus a sestet. The theme can be lighty-hearted or declamatory, suggesting an appeal to a lover,as in this sonnet. There should be no division into two stanzas. The sonnet is a composite whole of fourteen lines. However, remedy this, Kabbaliistic , and go to the top of the class....

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
