@sam-kowal Thanks. That’s okay. I probably should ask someone like @daeus shouldn’t I?
Oh, wait…I think I just did. 😀

Rochellaine replied to the topic I Believe in Dragons in the forum Poetry Critiques 8 years, 6 months ago
@ariel-ashira I think it’s really interesting that there’s an eighteenth-century English dictionary that lists dragons as “now rare!” 😀 And the Bible does mention unicorns, so possibly? There’s not much certainty as to what kind of animal the Bible was talking about, and some say it might have been rhinoceros, but those actually have two ho…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira But, if you like, you could just imagine that I go around yelling “Sylvester – Sylvester!” all the time. 😀 😀 😀 Maybe I know someone named Sylvester and he’s missing? So I call him all the time, but he never answers.
Which explanation do you prefer?

@dekreel Actually I read your post in my email and didn’t even see the italics before answering. 😀 The way the line is structured puts the most emphasis on the second syllable, while the fourth and sixth syllables have a little less emphasis and the eight syllable has the least emphasis besides the non-accented syllables in between. (At l…[Read more]

@dekreel I don’t know…putting that much emphasis on “it” doesn’t sound quite right, do you think? The second syllable in that line is the one with the most emphasis in the entire line, so I’d feel strange putting all the force on an ambiguous word like “it.”

Rochellaine replied to the topic I Believe in Dragons in the forum Poetry Critiques 8 years, 6 months ago
@ariel-ashira Yeah. The thing is, I actually believe dragons are real. 😀 But I do understand they’re looked upon as fantasy creatures. As I said before, I was intending it to be a comic poem, but accidentally made it serious, so that’s probably what the problem with that is.
*giggles* Um, that’s a quote from one of my favorite books. It’s…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira @sam-kowal Haha! Guess I can’t escape from my comical side in poem writing. 😀 Part of the reason might be it was originally intended to be a comical explanation of why I believe in real dragons, but then I turned the dragons into figurative beasts and so thought I changed it to serious.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
But does no o…[Read more]

@ethryndal Oh my. But now I’m wondering…was it Freda who was in a dream all along? And it’s really Bessy that has to rescue her? Was she dreaming a “dream within a dream?”

I’m not very satisfied with my attempt at a serious poem. As many of you know, I write mostly comic poems, and I find them much easier than serious poetry. I have no idea why I wrote this, but since I did, I’d like to be happy with it, so if you are reading this and if you feel like it, go ahead and critique. Thanks! 🙂

…Between periods of unconsciousness, I hear mumbling voices above me, including my brother’s voice. I feel warmth from the bathing water and from the fire, which I hear crackling to my left.
I must be back at Fren’s hideout. I think dimly. How did I get here? I open my eyes to see my brother’s snarling face.
“You made it, course you did. Yo…[Read more]

I wake to the sound of rustling grass and the smell of blood. Only, I can’t see anything, not even when I open my eyes.
“Did we win?” I mumble breathlessly.
Akila wipes stray hairs away from her face. “Yeah, why?”
I grunt, struggling to sit up. “If we won, why am I bleeding?”
“When you got stabbed the enemy, everyone was so surprised they…[Read more]

@bekreations I love Celtic music! I don’t do a lot of folk, but some American/English true folk music. (Like, actually written in the 1800s. 🙂 ) My favorites to sing are oldies and Americana; popular songs from the 1910s-50s. I also enjoy operetta and musicals. I like Disney, too, but only the older music from the 30s-50s. What type of Di…[Read more]

@dekreel Chara is a little old-fashioned. She would take the train.

Chara would just call the Brute Squad. She’s a girly girl who can exercise, but doesn’t like to fight.
