We seem to have enough decent poets and enough on the verge of being on the verge of decent, (i'm in the 2nd lot) to the extent that was wondering if we could have some easy poetry classes where we can learn about things that matter in and through laymen's terminology.
ie, two rhymes;
chattel
harbour.
normally people would shout; they don't rhyme.
in laymen's terminology we could say; put the booze down and redo the rhymes cos you screwed them over and they aren't doing it for me....
basically it's classes where we can have fun while learning a little at a time.
no real thought to the actualities of what a sonnet are or how a sextet is. i'll run the class and will be ecstatic should those wiser than me point out that my teaching skills are shot to shit and that's the way it should bloody well be. (it's why i'll only be doing the really basic stuff)
the Hope is, that anyone and everyone no matter what their pay grade or level of competence is will take part. i really want to set up a new forum for this venture with the title of the the subject heading in this thread.
interested parties must (though i can't lick your ass with a cat o' nine tales if you don't) take part and visit the threads therein on a fairly constant basis, leaving feedback and trying the exercises. this is okay for you too SJ, and others who profess to know little about poetry. this will be like the kindergarten of poetry classes
so please help me out here boys/girlie's and vote yes if you have a good and kind and mischievous heart.
i obviously vote for yes on many counts.
where i said vote yes, i meant on the questions that say you'll help, what ever you do don't vote yes where it says you won't help...please
