PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Thank you very much for that: Thank you very much for that comment.  As always, I very much appreciate your perspective on this.

That would be so much fun as: That would be so much fun as the Season has quite begun!

Rhyme is a curious: Rhyme is a curious phenomenon:  full rhymes, slant rhymes, off-rhymes; then there is full-stop or enjambment at the end of each line.  But such terms are only the effect of studying how Poets use words; the terms do not create Poetry.  I like the graceful rhyme structure in this poem, and it keeps the poem moving briskly to its conclusion.  The converssational tone of the poem makes the rhyming sound natrual---as if all people spoke and wrote this way---and not artificial, as in a greeting card.   And, as Patricia pointed out, this is a meta-poem; and that makes it very interesting.  The great Poet, Wallace Stevens, wrote meta-poems in blank verse; and Alexander Pope wrote them in rhymed couplets.  With this excellent poem, you join those great Poets who have given us Poetry about Poetry; which, to me as a reader, is one of the most interesting subjects and genres available in our language.  I applaud this great accomplishment that yiou have shared with postpoems' readers.

'Umbilical?' Our site: 'Umbilical?' Our site frontage has navel features, perhaps that's why this first came to mind. What a refreshing poetic output. And you are right, it doesn't necessarily need to rhyme except when attempting to keep to a part form. At which point it becomes a challenge that both restricts and frees our means of expression. For some people, some poems sound like Yoda and others like Shakespeare, while others still, a variety of exciting spontaneity. Thanks kindly for sharing the fruit of this particular inspiration.

Your meta-poem is your: Your meta-poem is your uniquely-you and epic wit on full display, and it's no surprise that it's a blast to read and ponder with inspiration from the great Bard of PostPoems.   From "chasms and pinnacles" to "ssoothing lotion" (with a nod to your lovable self) to "atmospheric word designs" you explored the possibilities of structure and capricious word gymnastics.   I adored every "whimsical" line. I want to say "physical" as a rhyme, but that's just a near rhyme, which was your point exactly.   Brilliant!    

Thank you very much.  I am: Thank you very much.  I am glad to know someone else experiences this as well.

a curious thing:   Curiously, I always feel a greater bubbling of creativity come Autumn. I don’t know what it is, but it definitely starts stirring-up from October onward. I think as we spend more time indoors, we also spend more time, within ourselves.
