Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
I AM ON HOLIDAY IN OCTOBER. NORMAL SERVICE WILL BE RESUMED WHEN I GET BACK. :-)
Sorry if there is a delay in replying or if I'm away for short periods. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon says, life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.

I’ve written a hundred poems in a year
but I’m still unsure exactly what you use a metaphor,
similarly with a simile,
and I’m still concerned that
everyone expects astounding alliteration,
but I still want to water and grow
and prune the leaves on
my poetry.

A fine write Tom. I thought a simile was one of those emoji things - a smiley! lol. Doh! And what IS an iambic pentameter in poetry?
Thanks Orchi! You always make me smile. And iambic pentameter is that rythym dee-dum/dee dum/dee-dum/dee-dum/dee-dum, for example, I-wan/dered-lone/ly-as/a-cloud. (I think that's right) I find it hilarious that is contains I am bic pen though! 🙂 Thanks as always, mate.
Congratulations Tom. I love the idea that you continue to work on your garden. Nurturing your flowers will yield even better results. I’m a gardener myself. I just felt the need to respond in metaphor. Have a wonderful Wednesday and keep those green fingers busy.
Thanks so much, Cassie. I'm still figuring out my way in the poetry thing, but I'm still going and I'm enjoying myself. 🙂 And love that you continued the theme! And yes, have a wonderful Wednesday too! Lovely weather for gardening today!
Yep, it’s looking pretty miserable from my window 🙂
Really? There are blue skies in Manchester, that does not happen very often. 🙂
You are right, Manchester is known for its rain. Well it’s shifted south, so make sure you enjoy those blue skies while you have them:)
I ain't much good at them figures of speech, Tom - they feel like euphemisms to me.
And of course, congrats on doing the ton.
Thanks a lot, Dave. Really appreciate your comments, as always. Yep, still going and making it up as I go along. Cheers, mate.
Congratulations Tom be careful about the anthropomorphism, personification, meter and hyperbole
Thanks for your comments, Soren. Yeah, it's a mine-field. I've just been blagging it so far! 🙂 Cheers, Tom.
Great write Tom
Thanks, Tony. Really appreciated.
Excellent work with the poet's tools. Congrats.
Thanks a lot, Thomas. Really appreciate your comments. Cheers, Tom.
All these things come slowly. Be patient, keep writing. Not too much concern with the rules.
Thanks a lot for the advice. I will bear that in mind, and yes, just keep writing. Cheers, Tom.
Poetry shows the words in our minds and hearts Tom and it does not matter how they are written.
