Now all you poets I want all your information. Tell me everything you know. I am all ears and excited. applause

When I started writing poetry everything rhymed , then I felt my poetry was kinda immature, so I decided my stuff couldn't rhyme anymore . I suppose my stlye is free style , I hardly read other poets work and I don't research styles or techniques , so I just go for it.But I find, that reading novels helps me to write poetry .

I think of the most wonderful words at the most inconvenient moments, in the shower, just before falling asleep or on waking - now how am I supposed to write those ones down? I started writing when I was trying not to fall apart at the beginning of my separation/divorce.. it was cathartic, now it's more fun and expressive only at times.

Hope for some may be of use.
