Just for you Andrew:

Rules - noun - one of a set of explicit or understood regulations or principles governing conduct within a particular activity or sphere.

I'm wondering if I should try my hand at writing a story 😳😳


I so wish you would! Your wordplay is great and I bet your prose would be just as great as your poetry.

I been here before awhile ago decided to come back.


Welcome back. Love the avatar.


Sally Rand was the first burlesque dancer to become famous for her fan dance.
I think that to call it a specific type of poetry it should meet the definition on that form.

I used to think that poetry was divided into several types, including free verse. I have changed my way of thinking because of the great pieces of work here and how they relate; and also from exchanges with very talented writers of poetry we have.

I know think of all poetry as just poetry, with certain subsets of specialized writing within the whole. I feel that if you changed a sonnet so that it no longer met the standard criteria of a sonnet that it stays poetry, but leaves that specific subset.

Though I used to prefer more formalized styles, I have come to enjoy all forms now. Just wish I could write them half as well as Larry or Yas.
