Poetic Explorations



My journey into the world of form poetry will take place over the next 50 weeks. My goal is to create a poetic expression using a different poetic form each week during 2011. The selection of the forms will be decided by the group, Poetic Explorations, but the musings and results will be my own.

I hope you'll find something of interest here. Enjoy!
