Feeb-I’m so glad I helped you along to look more at poetry. i think so many people are turned off by poetry because of the way it is taught in school and well, frankly, some of it is boring to read. but the good old purple prose gotta love it!!!

“I just wish I could get more people to realize how fundamental poetry is to the way we see the world.” – Well, so long as I’m a people you’ve gotten me to take a much deeper look at poetry and to see that in embracing the more poetic roots of my writing everything can be expanded upon and deepened. Plus purple prose is so much more fun without the constraints of ‘standard’ writing.

i think i used to do a lot of intentional rhyming, especially when i was working on poems but now i seem to like alliteration and assonance a lot more even in my natural speech

well if i did get the idea from you THANKS!

I am still amazed when I have family members who don’t know I do it. I’ve sort of been vocal about it for a while now guys!

Susan – that is strange? Maybe it is because you have children or because you look young? It is funny that people jump to that but yet they can not handle the term adult fiction or books for adults. Makes you wonder if these people read!

I’d love to be able to write YA stuff though. Really would!
