I have begun to submit some of my work to some magazines and poetry fellowships. I hope to become published elsewhere soon.   I am studying some experimental forms, and working on some original forms of my own. I encourage new poets to try the classical forms, its a wonderful way to learn to discipline your writing and your thoughts.I have included some links below for your perusal. I enjoy studying many different forms of poetry and use them here. I also write prose and short stories. Some of the work I have posted here are excerpts from other projects that had a certain poetic quality and so I have included them here among my more traditional poems. Sestina http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/5792 A poem consisting of six six-line stanzas and a three-line envoy. The end words of the first stanza are repeated in varied order as end words in the other stanzas and also recur in the envoy. This is quite a challenging form. prose poem The poetic prose composition: a piece of creative writing that has the structure of prose but the style and language of poetry Etheree Form: The Etheree is a ten lined poem written with a specific syllable count. Normally non-rhyming. Double Etheree is done by starting with either ten syllables and going down to one...then starting with one syllable...and going up to ten. This makes a lovely hourglass design on the page, or a diamond...both are very pretty. I discovered the etheree form here on poetry poem! Form: Line 1 - 1 syllable Line 2 - 2 syllables Line 3 - 3 syllables Line 4 - 4 syllables Line 5 - 5 syllables Line 6 - 6 syllables Line 7 - 7 syllables Line 8 - 8 syllables Line 9 - 9 syllables Line 10 - 10 syllables Villanelle A 19-line poem consisting of five tercets and a final quatrain on two rhymes. The first and third lines of the first tercet repeat alternately as a refrain closing the succeeding stanzas and joined as the final couplet of the quatrain. This is a very challenging form. I am just beginning to practice it. One must really contemplate the subject matter of the work before hand. The reapeating lines must form a cohesive bond through out the piece. Tanka and Haiku Hakiu is done with three lines and a strict 5/7/5 syllable count. Tanka is done using five lines using 5/7/5/7/7 count. These two ancient forms are wonderful to help one learn discipline, and to bring an idea to a very fine point. The simplicity of the form is also its most challenging aspect. The writer is compelled to use the most powerful words in their arsenal to bring about a feeling as well as an immersive experience for the reader. Below are some good links for those of you who may be interested in exploring this and other forms. I have found these to be very enjoyable. http://www.cranberrydesigns.com/poetry/haiku/history.htm http://www.americantanka.com/about.html http://poetry-magazine.com/poetry/poetry-009/08page.htm http://www.poemofquotes.com/articles/poetry_forms.php


 About The Author:   

About morgan3~~  My real name is Ramona Hughes. I have recently realized that my path had veered far into the darkness, and that I needed to return to the Light, and in that light, I rediscovered that my Lord and savior Jesus Christ was waiting for me. He gently led me back to his planned route and graciously forgave me for my ignorant wandering. I am so grateful and happy that he did not leave me there. I am so happy that I finally heard his Sweet call and found my way BACK to the safety and peace of His side. I regret the wasted years, wallowing in my own pride and ego. I look forward to following HIM now, and to sharing HIS word and His LOVE with any who will believe that HE died for our sin, and lives again at our Father's right hand. I pray that all may find this joy, and I hope that from now on my work will only reflect His Will and His messages. Any works that are posted here prior to 10/16/24 are from my time upon the wider path, and I only know that I am very glad that I was able to again find my way Back to that Narrow small gate, and to the reproving hand of my Lord Jesus! Praise His Holy Name!  Welcome to my poetry site where I post samples of my work. I enjoy this poetry community because there are so many talented people who are willing to read the works of others offering constructive  feedback and encouragement. It is also wonderful to have the oppurtunity to read the poems of other aspiring writers who post here.  Enjoy your visit and leave feedback ...I encourage you to also sign my guestbook.  Thank you for your consideration...Ramona/gibson/Hughes
