NaPoWriMo - up-to-date.

Sun Apr 19, 2009, 5:52 AM
+++++++++++++++++++++++++




"The man is a cheshire cat: all smile and no substance. At least he disappears every now and then."




+++++++++++++++++++++++++

In writing news, I am up-to-date with NaPoWriMo, although I have declined to post any save the occasional piece of light verse - which may be found in my scraps. Revision of any pieces worthy of the effort shall commence in May.

I have been largely focusing my NaPo efforts via *The-Cabal

The recent Soundzine was fun [link]


Benedictions all.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++



SOUNDZINE

:iconsoundzine: Visit ~Soundzine - Peruse the archives. Get a microphone and submit something. Don't let fear get in the way of trying something new!

Here, allow me to [link] you to the Soundzine webpage.






These are the poems of mine that I still enjoy reading, in roughly descending value.



A Memory for an Old Friend

Eulogy

Memorial under Streetlights

Well Acquainted

Winter

Blue

Alive

Shades of Sleep

Mantra

A Blank Page

Tales in Read

Cold Comfort

Standing In Dust

Half a Glass

Tapestries





[link] - this journal of mine is an example of what a year of utilising DA's literary resources can potentially do for you. Have a look. This is also a good 'before and after' example of my works.

Prepare to laugh. A lot. I can also promise cringing.

Benedictions!

There is a great emptiness growing within me. It howls through me at night, leaves me cold and aching.

Which is why I tend towards option of disappearing for months at an time in preference to letting people know what is happening.

Being labelled as 'emo' during crisis irks me.

I kid you because we are friends. That you are irked saddens me; it was my intention to lighten your day.

I apologize and continue now, and in the future, to wish you well through every crisis, comrade.

You're worse on here than you are on Facebook me thinks.

Never mind my friend, I was in a particularly bad mood last night, I fear - positively snarly and bad-tempered.
My apologies.

It's fine.

And if I can help in any way, at any time, you have only to ask.

Benedictions, James

Apparently, senior members get journal features. Isn't that dandy?

Poets who are into structured poetry really should go and check out :iconpoetic-forms:

The information hub to the literature side of DA: :iconlit-source:

The Ancient Order of Dogmatic Tradionalists bring the following announcement:

"True poetic rebellion lies in writing in metrical and fixed structures - thus deviating from the norm!
Thumb your nose at Modernist and Post-modernist freeverse by being different from them all!"

So get your rhythmic groove on - OLDE SCHOOLE STYLE!

Benedictions all!
