Hi, all.
John from south Devon - ex North Yorkshire (my old stomping ground is not far from techtak...) Pleased to be here.
Much as I enjoy writing, I've always wanted to get in to poetry a bit more. The stumbling block at the moment is the pre-occupation I see with free verse - almost without exception, I just don't 'get it.' Terribly written pages of gibberish in fancy patterns. But that's what I see. Someone experienced may absolve me of that notion in due course!
I'm hoping to contribute with comment and critique if it'll help others, and apply what I learn to my own beginning work.
Cheers, all.
John
