RE: The Dark marauder returns. Poetry dice 37.
I am thunderstruck!
Marg ... your progression is astonishing.
When I read that first poem, I immediately Googled several different lines thinking you were quoting Shakespeare or Tennyson. I didn't recognize the poem and I didn't want to look stupid.
Marg ... stop fooling around with your knitting, painting, scrap-booking, doodling, free-writing and all the other artsy-fartsy stuff ... and start writing poetic verse.
Not only do you have an incredible facility with words ... you're VERY GOOD at "finding poetic ideas, ideals and insights" about which to write.

It's amazing what a retreat from cognition and a good vegetation can achieve.
I find the word stupid a little harsh, but you did reveal your ignorance re stitching techniques. I'm a crocheter not a knitter.
Also, as I head into Spring and you autumn I was going to post you a fab 100% acrylic scarves, or perhaps even one from my more exclusive Australian merino range, but...
Let me know, Iam only half jesting. Perhaps down your way you don't even require such a things in winter. My references are from TV, Dexter is always in short sleeve shirts.
I think you should send me a weekly email with similar content to this, is is good for my ego. On a serious note, my self concept very much needed a boot at the moment, you have no idea how much your encouragement helps me.
Perhaps I'll send an email. I over share on steemit enough as it is.

PS.
I haven't used this syllabic rate before, it just came out. The only formal poetry I have utilised came from a suggestion that I base my poetry around a Coca-Cola jingle.
I read one poem in high school. Robert Frost, The road not taken. It didn't do much for me then, and still doesn't impress me much.
I do like Bob Dylan's ramblings, I'm so pleased he got the recognition he deserved.
I have never read Tennyson, I will today.(After I do a little work on my cubist dog painting ).
@girlbeforemirror,
I stand corrected. Crocheter ... not a knitter. :-)
Blackmailer.
I live in Central Florida. We get 2-3 weeks of long-shirt weather per year. The rest of the year is sweltering.
I'm writing a post as we speak. I've written a "poem-in-reply."
He's a direct family ancestor. My family is "soldiers and poets" back as far as the eye can see.

Technical question: How do you get your lines of poetry to appear in "stanza form" (reduced line spacing intra-stanza) like you did in this post?
