HI!

Glad to see you here. Your word set has interesting possibilities, and imagination can take you many places with just these words. Something else that can help is the use of forms, basically frameworks upon which a poet can structure a poem. If you would like help learning forms (Their easier then they might look), just let me know, and I will be happy to send you a set of basic forms by e-mail so you can use them as you create. Its a challenge, and adds to the fun. The folks here are very good about helping, and we all learn from each other as we go. This makes for a dynamic place to come and meet and share with others who love the work of poetry. You will hear real constructive ideas put forth, and every chance for your poem to be read and appreciated. Welcome aboard, and have fun, the first and best rule of the Lair. (Oh by the way, a poem about the Dragonfly will get you in good with the lady who runs this place, so long as its a poem about how grand they are and not about swatting one!) ;^)

Thank you. Yes, if you wanted to FReepmail me with structure ideas, that would be great!

As far as dragonflies go...who wouldn't love such a beautiful creation! (followed by sounds of kissing up) Now if your talking about mosquitoes....there's a creature I wouldn't mind seeing elliminated.

Here's a dragonfly that captivated the attention of one of the Boy Scouts I chaperoned last summer.



Sorry the image is so big. I'm not sure how to reduce the size. 8^)
