Kelli Swearingen replied to the discussion 'Carol Bachofner/sonnets, villanelles, pantoums and onward into form' in the group Poetry Critique
"I agree, form does push you to work harder, make better word choices,etc. I think part of the reason why I've never really applied myself to trying a form seriously, is because I was always think I'm doing it wrong.
Do you recommend any…"

"Oh I hope to learn something from you ladies. I have no clue how to write anything other than free-verse and the occasional rhyme. Sevenlings sound very interesting (and easy for my slow brain!)

"oh my! dogs to loan! I think that is hilarious! I don't worry about libraries however. People will always need the scent of books to feel more alive. My iPad doesn't provide that. My solution is to buy books of poetry, check out books of…"

"While I agree with you on most of this, I feel that symmetry is overrated. I like the lack thereof sometimes. And what of the man with only one eye, one hand, one leg? Is he "less than" his fellow humans. I like one egg and one toast…"

"Let's start by chatting about which forms we like and go to frequently when we write.
For me, the sonnet, the villanelle, and the aubade are favs. I like to use iambic tetrameter in sonnets more than iambic pentameter. Seems more…"

April is fast upon us
the dew no longer freezes
on the branch. The sun cruises
the yard all day, looking for flowers.
Yesterday she found two tiny blooms
under the holly bush. White sky gives way
