I'm open to some constructive critisism, if you get a spare moment.

My favorite books are in a box somewhere in storage right now, so I'm using a book about gardening that's actually quite poetic. I'm having to work at making the phrases my own, though. I'll let you know when I post.bluerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454168542120117493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646923.post-36139803811760326992008-03-18T08:44:00.000-04:002008-03-18T08:44:00.000-04:00that should say Andree--with two Esthat should say Andree--with two EsMary Stebbins Taitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626507461216769140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646923.post-54226063451674512052008-03-18T08:35:00.001-04:002008-03-18T08:35:00.001-04:00oops, needed to proof that last comment!

I have revised that poem more since I posted it--was going to post it elsewhere and link it but haven;t had time--my computer crashed trying to get to your page to let you know--dunno why--scary. Crahsed twice--this was a computer that rarely crashes.<BR/><BR/>I have a ton of these H-Acrostics and others.<BR/><BR/>The reason you should not use poetry is the lines are already very refined which makes it harder to change them and they are sometimes recognizable to the poet and people who have read the poem whereas phrases harvested from novels are less poetic, usually and have to be strongly revised and thus become your own.Mary Stebbins Taitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626507461216769140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646923.post-49943576208610671922008-03-17T23:01:00.001-04:002008-03-17T23:01:00.001-04:00oh I forgot.Thank you so much for this.
