Closed Form Poetry If there is a definitive conclusion, and the poet decides to use a specific pattern, such as meter or rhyme, the form will take on what is known as closed form...

Very night Corn. Perhaps "light" shouldn't be so light. Didn't know it said "light" until I highlighted it, yet I love the concept and the structure of the piece. Very creative!

Thumbs up Re: The Rainbow, in shades of grey

Well this is definitely something new to these old eyes.

I loved reflecting/gintcelfer. I do hope that I rewrote that properly.

At first and four reads I thought “what the?” Then read five, seven more times more and thought brilliant. For me personally I think putting the dialogue/speech into quotations wouldn’t have hurt the form either. It might even give something even more dramatic. But of course this is only one opinion.

Re: The Rainbow, in shades of grey

I have always liked the use of word placement and sculpting in poetry. I feel it takes it to a new level. It does not always work well but in this case you have captured the essence of the subject with brilliant technique and creativity. You have nice imagery paired with a wonderful sense of connection, despite the fleeting nature of the subject. Great work.

Hahaha, now that was very creative. I couldn't take my eyes off it. As the others said, it was crazy, too.

Pretty cool.
