Comment on Poets who rhyme constantly criticized by seevee

seevee — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 05:00:58 +0000

Just tonight I received another rejection of my poetry. It all rhymes…every time…without fail. My favorite criticism is that it doesn’t sound natural, as if free verse does? Rhyming poetry has a proud history and great staying power. I console myself in that maybe my time will come eventually…but I don’t lose sleep over it. I write for my enjoyment and that is enough for me.

Comment on Banning Books is Just Silly by Peti

Banned books do seem to make for an exciting reading list. Like you say, NY, I want to read each unbolded title on my list just to see what all the hullabaloo is about!

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Fahrenheit 451 on the list in the past. And it is, indeed, ironic.

i did the meme last year too. i think banning in idea is silly, but in reality gives the opposite effect of what it intends to do. people would be more inclined to read banned books to find what’s so controversial about them! and in the age of the internet, anything banned can be found, if you know where to look.

Comment on Help, the Internet Fried my Brain! by farleywm

I concur,

as part of trying to remain open minded so that I can stay true to any art form. I have been taking more time to read articles, the new yorker, plays, novels, anything really as long as its artistic.

plus…. reading in length is so much more relaxing than searching a website or watching tv. going infinite (thats the slang for when you start clicking, then you look at the clock and 7 hours have gone by) is a waist, makes me antsy.

glad to see you have written again, i need to get back on that horse myself…. besides the cryptologists are bored without my horrible spelling and grammar out there

hope you are well

Comment on Poets who rhyme constantly criticized by Hoibel von Dreifurth

I find that those who say that rhyme is dead or on the way out are silly little people who are incapable of putting together a rhyming poem.

A poet today writes in both rhyme and free verse. If not he is not very talented.

You say “antiquated”.
I say do not discard the old unless you have something equal or superior to replace it with.

About Inside Media at the Paley Center’s 30 Days:
The 30 Days executive producers discuss the making of the entertaining—and enlightening—documentary series. Using the time construct from his hit documentary Super Size Me, creator/executive producer Morgan Spurlock asks Americans to spend a month experiencing something for which they have no tolerance or knowledge. Spurlock, along with executive producer R. J. Cutler, spent an evening at The Paley Center for Media discussing the sometimes controversial show. Rebecca Faez (director of administration, The Paley Center for Media, Los Angeles) welcomes the audience and introduces Daily Variety’s Stuart Levine, who moderates. Contains Explicit Language.
