With Eyes Glazed Over

Writing to Form



I love a good challenge 
Take each one in stride
How I make it work ~
Let whimsy be my guide 

Terzanelle [a dinner treat]

Pleiades [starry cluster]

Sestina [sexy beats]

Ghazal [in my groove]

Pantoum [of the Opera]

Choka [artichoke]

Triolet [my three sons]

Ya Du [my self-help guru]

  6. Love this! As I read each one I recalled the ones I have attempted, and must admit that I felt a certain love for them. It's great how much we stretch and grow with and for one another via these writing prompts!
