Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
I will return early January.
I will return early January.
You have inspiration; poetic form
Has the potential to best suit your need.....?
Now which type of poetry is the norm?
No answer from here – you must do the read.
Read other poetry, all styles, some unique;
Try famous poets if you wish to commit.
There are dusty tomes which explain technique;
More advice?:- Nothing to say? then don’t say it.

Good advise, solid basis and beneficial guidance!
I hope it reaches a receptive audience and aids someone in their discoveries.
Poetry is like music to me, there is no one type that I prefer. A well rounded person is much more fun. I loved this poem full of wisdom.
Thanks Soren. For me it is very similar - while for myself I tend to see what I want to say in the form of quatrains, and enjoy the discipline, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy other forms.
Doh! Nothing (much) to say, but I still says it. Still goes waffling on! lol.
You found me in the dusty library?
Nah - found you under a table, orchi - there woz a squad marching down the corridor with a petition to prevent you singing in any other place than an enclosed bucket, plus a codicil which will prevent you from owning a talking dog...
Thanks Dave. lol. But I gotta have Fido to bark at naughty poets who 'forget' to mark poems 18+ when they
should do!
Can you also get him to bark at poets who classify their poems as 18+ when there is absolutely no need to do so......such a disappointment ...........................................
Yes, though he will bark gently at them. But fiercely bark at any 'hot' poems not marked 18+. lol.
Get yerself a new dog, orchi. Fido is an ideologue if he discriminates between different kinds of honest assessment with respect to truth:
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
Bit of Keats there (I googled it!). But Fido won't go, he can get very fierce! lol. He only barks gently as if to say 'You need not mark that poem 18+'.
I wish I could be so gentle with idiots who live in a delusional space...
Ohhhh, do ya hear me? Probably not, cos I'm in a padded cell with Fido! Heehee.
'Fraid I can - that voice of yours really carries - not to, definitely not to mention Fido....
That Fido's friend in your pic?
He's actually my alter ego: Tongue - loves to engage; wink sees the funny side of life, even if it is pretty stupidly awful at times.
But if that's my alter ego, please don't ask for the real me - I might be tempted to tell ya.....
A great poem with poetry advices and technique.
Guess you are saying we shouldn't force poetry if we aren't that inspired and not in mood.
Kudos!
Plz also read and comment my newest poem too.
Thanks for your visit szk. Seems to have struck a chord with long term poets here - I wonder if any of the newbies have read it....?
Did read and comment on your newest poem.......
Who’s a poet and what is poetry
You have well defined how one could be.
Thanks Suresh. The definition of poetry has always been problematic. Since almost all our behaviors/endeavors are learned by modelling (this includes social norms and so on), therefore it seems entirely reasonable to refer seekers of knowledge with respect to this particular art form to the practice of those practitioners commonly referred to as poets. There are no cast iron definitions anyway.
Thanks once more...Gave me a chance to explain myself.
Who’s a poet and what is poetry
You have well defined how one could be.
Am I to assume that by an unchanged copy of your original response, you believe it to be definitive and my response to you was unnecessary?
Still don’t seem to have mastered even simple technology, and so keep making duplicate posts.
Good advice D D and I might add to just write from your heart and let others do the analyzing.
Can't fault that, H. Although I'd add the hope that the heart expresses its self intelligibly enough for others to have something worth analyzing....
there is a certain sapience that seems to underpin these words .. finely stacked sir ................. Neville
(I just felt the need to head off those newbies who confess first poem and ask for advice here....)
