I wanted to post them in the form I wrote them, just to give an impression of the results of a session, but normally, I think it's better to wait a few days, then go back and edit to see if there's a decent poem in there. Although occasionally speed poeming can produce an almost-finished poem in one go (was Stansted a speed poem originally?) I reckon most of the time you're more likely to find a couple of interesting lines, or a stanza, or just an concept that you can return to. I guess what you hope to end up with is a scrapbook of ideas that give you something to work from when you're a bit blocked.Tim Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840342654364877057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070743985733928088.post-18628645861740331882009-11-18T13:33:56.183+00:002009-11-18T13:33:56.183+00:003rd one is great, though, if i may be so bold as t...3rd one is great, though, if i may be so bold as to critique, the ending lets it down. while it is more depressing i want her to not agree with him. i want her to tell him to shut up or something. this is great:<br /><br />Oliver doesn't know how<br />he can be expected to have sex<br />with her when she won't watch<br />Shawshank Redemption and all<br />her clothes smell of rusks.<br /><br />look forward to the next 97Luke Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477534925493592842noreply@blogger.com
