RE: The River - A Villanelle

in #poetsunited6 years ago (edited)

Hey vegaron,

I consider the forms of Poetry to be important, too.

A few weeks ago, I posted my "An Unambiguous Tutorial on How to Write Metrical Poetry" which teaches the reader how to properly identify the correct accentuation and syllabication of each and every word.

When th'accents and syllables of lines are pattered their words are usually much easier to recite, as well as to sing, in comparison to th'unpatterned words of free verse, because patterning them doth alloweth for their innate layers of music to emerge—the natural rhythms and notes of those lines become uninhibited—the currents of sound within and between their words being all the more effortlessly able to flow.

Much like the meaning of your "The River" villanelle, which I enjoyed reading.

I hope you'll read that tutorial I wrote. I don't suppose that I am th'only person who would probably enjoy reading as well as hearing you recite or sing some of your own accentual-syllabic verse.

From Lannie.

Thank you Lannie, I've read the post and even bookmarked it. It's incredibly informative—especially for someone like me who likes to try different forms of poetry. As for reciting a poem, it might be possible if I could squeeze a bit of time in my busy schedule but singing is out of the question considering that I'm tone deaf. Lmao.
