evening all, just before I go to sleep,
I hope I never get to the point that I think I am above taking advice. Thank you everyone who has commented. I know I often wander between tences im my poems so I try to check that when going over them. Another problem I have is presuming everyone knows what I know, or trying to explain too much.. I need to find a happy medium.
Also I thought the orignal idea, for this section of the site, was to offer a poem we wanted advice on. It has become something else.
I'm off

Much rather write poetry than do house work Zondrae, there is no comparism.
Enjoyed your idea of using the prompts.
Cheers

I reckon that its great the way you are stretching your imagination Zondrae. I think you will benefit greatly from trying these approaches.

Yes Neville,
that is what I tell any new members of our group when they say "I can't write to a topic on demand." I usually sugggest they give it a try and see what happens. Within a few weeks they are turning out a homework poem every week.
