danny you’d make a great teacher with those lessons.
clear, consise & to the point with examples!

too bad i dont teach creative writing,
id get you in as a guest lecturer for sure.

Okay, now it makes sense. The last few days I’ve been wondering where all the writers have gone because all I could see was poetry.

Ah. So that’s how you do it right. And here I thought poetry had no structure. Thanks Danny.

Actually K
your latest one about being a Pussi is very very good.

5 gold stars Mr Nolan. I’m going to follow this advice – be pre warned .)

hee hee… XD thanks Danny.

I HAVE TO USE IT
I have to use it, I say;
in workshops that I call thus
because I am
unqualified to teach class.
Therefore I must, I must use this because
I just never get poetry
anyway! (see, first words and last words rhyme)
oh … damnation.

Anne
A+
your a quick learner.

i’m a free verse poet
and i didn’t realise!.......(sigh)

(i’m a poet and i didn’t know et) for those who didn’t get it!

i don’t get it

Perfect. Thanks Danny. (no that’s not right)

A feast of rampant information
Wending it’s way round the neurons in my fucking brain,
only to leak away screaming – obliterated forever by …....

my grocery shopping list.

Did I do good??

these are great tips!!!

I agree with you, in principle! :) Definitely!

Quote: Most literature has a basic principal (sic). Start, Middle, End.

Great tutorial! Really!!

(I once was an assistant principal. )

While I’ve got the chalk in my hand..... It’s it’s when it stands for: It is . It’s its when it’s possessive, like The baby lost its rattle. Or: _I appreciate its intent.

(Not _Wending it’s way round the neurons…..... CathieT, you did not do good, on that one. )

:)

Sorry Oz ….. it’s been a VERY VERY long week!! I sooooo know that …... :(

Perfect. Thanks Danny. (no that’s not right)

A feast of rampant information freely provided by you
Wending its way round the neurons in my brain,

my grocery shopping list.

Fixed for Ozcloggie (and me …) because correct punctuation is everything.

vague, confusing
PERFECT

Thanks for the tips Danny , maybe I ‘ll write a little something now. “something” haha just joking really thnks for the help.

Fantastic tips here. Thankyou so much for supporting writing and specifically poetry :)

Great advice – might get bold and submit a word or two….

This blog haiku

Beaten like a child
With your turgid metaphors
Thank you for the lolz

Thanks Danny. Think I’ll just hum a bit.

Hehehe I have just been told I can’t swear in my poems!! ;) VBS

Tutourials?? Shocking!! ;-D

I’m going to try this. I can write…I just don’t know how to set it out ;)

thats alright Little Helen, I write but can’t spell or edit for crap

This made me laugh quite heartliy and out loud

“Lesson Three:Always start with a short note before the poem starts explaining vaguely what your verse is about. This way the reader won’t feel foolish and will be able to comment on your journal because they can pretend to feel empathy or pretend they understand what you are talking about.”

Wonderful

This is so funny – might even give it a go!!...

Thanks for this Danny, some great tips that just may come in handy :)

I feel so violated…do I know you? Why go and tell so many private things about me…bad boy! LOL Genuinely Funny and way too close!

That was a great light-hearted essay about poetry. I love it. It was about poetry, right?

funny bastard nolan
flies higher than the golan
with more make-up than mark bolan

la la, la la la la la la-la. etc.

but that’s what i did
THAT’S WHAT I DID
you fucker
i put my inky nib to parchment
pressed n made some tiny movements
wracked my mind with meaning
staring at t ceiling
drinking my darjeeling
intuitively natural, i
smoked more than a smoked makeral
adhered to all your so called helpful hints
til i was realing, revealing
plunging the depth of the mind
fuck
yet still my poem was crap.

You’re almost there
just post it in the writing section
should get 500 hits

Your flights of flights
so infuse my many roomed abode of thoughts
Your illumination of my darkened inhabitation
Lifts me high to your flights of flights!

I am sure I have outdone the teacher…

Couldn’t stop laughing think my huband is getting worried that I am fratenizing with a bunch of crazies! Nice one… beautifully written!

LOL, glad you reminded me this was here, haven’t read it in months, so glad to revisit :)

Im glad I know you Danny, you’re one I need to know (I think) . stay cool.

hahahahahahahaha fuck.

JenniferB said it best.

i fall into the not young but immature fucked up adult category, (ie more like the “hi im bipolar and when im manic i cant shut the f*ck up and i think i am hilarious)

Oh, I hope this is sarcasm and not a real how to- lol! Just kidding, I know it’s sarcasm. I think a lot of people need to read this and then do the opposite. :o)

OMGoodness! Too funny!

_Never think that you have to make sense or rhyme.
Poetry has always in its nature been vague. Lots of history’s greatest poems are incomprehensible._Guilty as charged!

With poetry there is a more artistic licence it’s more like: Start, Forget street directory, Get lost, Abandon car and hitch home. Laughed out loud at this one!

I won’t continue, I think you get the idea. So glad you found it and reposted. I’d have missed it otherwise.

Thanks Oh mighty Guru .. You are my eternal Master and Teacher…All Praise !!!!

did I spark the search? It’s good to see this in the light of day.

This is great.
When I was a child and beginning to write, my dad told me that poetry always had to rhyme. As an expert on, everything, (Dad, you know). I am quite shocked to hear of this radical way of wirting you speak of . . .
I think I’ll try it.

this made me smile…
a lot!

LOL…..i love you! xx

As you know I was loitering over Lucan’s way earlier today… which of course lead me in your direction through the quite entertaining, (sometimes a little scary I’ll admit) banter I’ve so far seen between the two of you. So I moved my loitering this way a while and this was the first thing I read… after which I added you to my watchlist. Of course it didn’t hurt that I’ve enjoyed your Game of Kings writing immensely and of course been floored by those fantastical goggles in Mr Robinsons possession.
So Lucan tells me you give me permission to come swear and hang shit all over your portfolio (at least I think thats what he said.. may need to go back and re-read) :D. Shitting all over things just aint in my nature :D
And I have to admit… reading both your and Lucan comments around bubble recently have had me literally laughing out loud as did this fun parody.

I’m always slow to catch on ;)
Still You (and Lucan ;) make me laugh so very much! (my favourite bit was the appearance of Lucan’s lawyer – pure champagne comedy!!)
Loved reading the forum… I actually completely agree with Mr Lucan of Lucan industries. They were extremely harsh. If that had been me writing that question as a newbie.. I would never have returned that’s for sure.
Look forward to enjoying more of your words smithy. I’m off to go pull out some more weeds in my garden on this fine beautiful day!

Oh.
The thoughts I had
of not being able to write poetry.
When all I had to do
(apart from think of stuff to say)
was write whatever
my grey matter created
and type it all here
for all to gaze upon and comment.
Wonder and amazement
is never ending
in this floating
bubbling
virtual
universe of mine.
Ours is what the word
should be.

hee hee… Sorry, couldn’t help myself!!! Thanks for the tute Danny. Now I am well equipped to write poetry and hopefully even limericks that make some sort of sense (but not funny ones, no no, not funny at all).

bugga flip f!@k shit and poop
