That you are a poet makes me want to brush up on what I did/learned/read in the poetry workshops I took almost three decades ago. I wrote one good villanelle. I wrote a semi-successful sestina. I love writing list poems. I'll have to look up Mirror. That one doesn't ring a bell.<br /><br />Like you, I love poetry. But if I start again trying to write poems, I might not get anything else done! <br /><a href="http://anncarbinebest.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann Best, Memoir Author</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-28954836577484029572011-06-28T03:39:12.485+03:002011-06-28T03:39:12.485+03:00Your life sounds so amazing!

So tough to weave emotional impact with the strict guidelines of the forms. But reusing lines or line-ending words in the new contexts of later lines is so much fun! I think the Villanelle is one of the hardest to write. I wrote one recently and much of the feedback hinted that I'd missed the mark in the emotional category. However, I did write that one in iambic tetrameter, just for the added challenge, so I still look on it as a success. :))<br /><br />Sounds like the workshop was a lot of fun, and how cool that you read some of your work!
