| First of all, I found this by poking around on my own. It was only through reading the review that I found out I was supposed to read it. :) It must have slipped Eomer's mind. Anyway, I liked both of them very much, and I plan on reading more of your poems and such. Honestly, I love poems that rhyme, as yours did, but some people just don't have the talent they think they do. (As shown in Pippin's Bad Poetry.) But yours was very enjoyable. :) Author Reply: Hello Chigger! I am glad you liked the poems. I do write some free and blank verse, but I like the rhythm of structured pieces. This year I got very much interested in the "obsessive" forms where entire lines must be repeated in a pattern. It does not always give me the perfect ansewr for a lione, but I feel very acomplisehd when I finish one. | |

| Hello, Fileg, I knew you not to be on SoA, and I am more than surprised to see that your poems have had no reviews. Very strange. Well, let me be the first then. I absolutely adore Unquenchable, and I will have to see if I can get the ever faithful reader of my stories, Chigger, to take a gander at it. Really and truly, I know of few better poets than you. Verse must come easily to you. :) Author Reply: Hi Eomer! I am glad to see you are still around in the fandom, and I very much hope that you are still writing. I am here, and at HASA, but latley I have been spending a lot of time in my live journal ( Fileg's Flight: http://www.livejournal.com/users/fileg/) and I have been writing a lot of short pieces that I need to collect and post here an on my own site. I am glad you like the poems - poetry doesn't have much of an audience, but that isn't why I write it. There is something that excites me about getting many layers of meaning into only a few words. SOmetimes verse comes easily to me - the part that many people think is hard does - that is, how to use one image to mean something else, or hopefully many tings as the poem unfolds. But I sometimes struggle with rhyme, just because the obvious choices seem obvious, or forced. I enjoy the game of these very structured forms. It was very good to hear from you again! | |
