Topic: My place | |
---|---|
My favorite place, is in a tree,
I hide there clinging desperately no worries of falling, but of being seen I am silent and still in my land of green I watch them walking, an ebb and flow Oblivious to me, as they go They can't touch this feeling, so serene, In my world of brown and green I start to whistle, unaware, and still no one espies my lair As they go about their ways, no one does look up these days. I climb on down, and with surprise, A girl sees me with widened eyes. I smile at her, but walk on by, and stare serenely at the sky. |

Nice, watch the capitalization and punctuation though! Why? It's poetry.... you're not supposed to worry about either one of those things... *cough*e. e. cummings *cough* |

not arguing the fact, but you're supposed to worry about it in all writing

not arguing the fact, but you're supposed to worry about it in all writing Generally, in poetry, I only punctuate when it feels right to me Mayhaps when i want a pause... or EMPHASIS! the dramatic clause poetry is free to me seprate from heavy essays where capitals roam Free it's just my creativity. |

I am only an ex-editor who has been published a little over 400 times, what do I know...lol. I was saying that the poetry, in my opinion, is good enough to be published if you clean it up a bit. All I was talking about.

All I was talking about. I dunno. It's all personal style I think. I'm too... spazzy to be meticulous about punctuation in poetry... ... There's not much "clean" about hiding in trees either. Also, I keep reading it, and I can't figure out where I'd want to put in other punctuation. I like a freer flow... in fact, I may go back and actually take away some punctuation at the end. |
