Blank Verse Workshop
Rescheduled from Feb 26.
Write ten-beat lines of verse, like Shakespeare wrote.
But lazy poets, do not fill your lines
With really wasteful words that just fill space
In order to repeat a point you've made,
Or words transpos'd, poetic more to seem.
Like this, who speaks? Like Yoda will you sound.
Yet rhymeless soul-pack'd verse astounds the mind.
It echoes common speech you hear all day
Then surges up to soar with metaphor
And crashes, lashing out with sputt'ring rage.
