She's a talented photographer. Your lily is gorgeous. That is an incredible turtle. His back looks like an ancient language.

I wish I could do visual art again--guess I could, but when?<br /> Glenda, I don't hold with rules like the one in your poetry group. If you limit yourself to one or two syllable words, you will be impoverished as a writer. Bring your cornucopia back into your poem. I've used that word in a poem; I love it. It's one of my favorite words. The important thing is to use each word well.

He uses some multi-sylabic words and I've heard poetry instructors say it is best to use one or two syllable words. In fact, one night at our critique group, my cornucopia had to go. What are your thoughts on this subject?Glenda Council Beallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778241689968750316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357199451052416763.post-4548088528516467932009-06-13T12:27:43.760-07:002009-06-13T12:27:43.760-07:00Saying what is between this and that -- a lovely t...Saying what is between this and that -- a lovely thought.
