I welcome suggestions for topics to discuss, but the main focus will probably continue to be poetry forms, techniques, or options for successfully editing and revising our work. However, I will gladly keep your suggestion for poetry prompts in mind for another poetry-related project I hope to get going this fall.

Just recently I began writing prose poetry more often than traditional forms and/or free verse, and what I most enjoy is how the paragraph block of the prose poem keeps me from stressing over line breaks!Mary Saylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709628386233742459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266151532403601584.post-51799609140248685792011-08-05T20:23:28.798-04:002011-08-05T20:23:28.798-04:00Very nice story!
