Billy,
Thank you so much! I have been attempting to master meter by ensuring my syllable count is consistent throughout the poem. I don't understand the term "foot" and if it is a poet's jargon for syllable, don't understand how you can have 1/2 of one. I will look those things up. One thing I do understand though is that you are a very gracious mentor, and I appreciate your the time and effort you expend guiding me to poetic credibility.
Yea, my poems are simple ... no great mysteries (which is to say lacking obscurity - wrote about that in "Out in the Cold"
Someday I will self publish my works in "Words Along the Way - the simple poetic musings of an outspoken heart" ... but thanks to PigPen (and that is a genuine thanks) ... I have to go back and rework each poem to address their lack of discernable meter.
The take away billie is - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
