Thank you for the guidelines.
What about the poems that were written as erasures? I’m guessing there is a copyright issue and they should be excluded?
Plus I have one that is all song titles, I’m sure that’s out!

Hi again, and thank you again! Yes this definitely helps and is a great idea. I didn’t really plan to do anything with it because of the song titles, but now I can and I love that. You, sir, rock!

Oh gosh, thank you so much for all of your comments, they are invaluable! I will revisit this with al of that in mind for sure.
Yes I did want to go for the rhyming scheme you mention but couldn’t quite get there at that hour so I moved on.
I’d hoped to find two worthy of submitting to the anthology, with edits of course, though on ref…[Read more]

Yes, I suppose it must, though at the time I only saw it through one lens. Thank you, I feel pleased and honoured that you liked it. 🙂

Sweet, it made me smile to write it. 🙂 I’m thinking dinner must have been more adventurous than moths and spiders, surely? 😉

Wow thank you so much. I’m glad you like it. I was aiming for quirky, dark, a little twisted, and some uncertainty. 🙂

Took me a while to work out why these lines felt familiar (forgot what the prompt was haha) then it all fell into place.
From the POV of the exercise it works well, but for publishing sake you’d have to acknowledge each title (there is a form of poem which is basically cribbing lines from lots of other poems, I forget it’s name ATM)
But an interesting exercise I have used with my writing students is to go & bust those “cliches” (song titles). Find ways to see how changing just a word in each line refreshes the imagery & potentially gives you a stronger richer poem because of it. (I have at least two poems I wrote during the marathon where I intend to do exactly that, I wrote a double sevenling where each line was a book title — & I can’t wait to see wait poem lies hidden inside that one 😁)
Hope this helps

Hi Fiona,
I surmised that these lines are song titles and it is quite unique – and it works to describe love-lorn experiences that we all have faced. Very creative!Seventh Solstise
