Books & Authors - March 2007

What makes you like a piece of poetry and want to continue reading it over and over again until you count it among your favorites???

Do you like for it to have a strict rhyme scheme, lyric, or obvious meter or do you prefer it to go more by assonance and feeling, or form and function?

Or do your prefer crazy, deep, harsh & intense or honest prose?

So tell me... What means "Great poetry" to you?

What do you look for? Listen for?

and does it bother you if it is not grammatically perfect?

Last but not least....Who is your favorite poet and what poem is your favorite?

What is your favorite Memoirs of a Geisha character and why?


Mine is Hatsumomo, even though she is a bit evil, she's actually just doing what she was taught. To compete.

An ocean begins to form in front of me
drop by drop it expands
it grows
the lines start to run
faster and faster towards the finish line that is my penstroke

A soliloquy of laughter
heard only by the frightened inner child - an audience

A smile crosses his reflection in the salt water pool
The soliloquy that is my laughter cuts out.
The crowd that are those I chose to surround myself with
chime in.

Invisible voices pounding 'gainst my head
I yell stop
Back to soliloquy.

My paper's been destroyed.
Converted with the writer's tears from not-so-blank canvas
to a blot of unreadable writing
to a blot of ink in an ever-growing puddle of tears.

I see myself in the salt water pool cumulating on my desk;
Just me
Yelling stop
In a soliloquy.

Constructive critisism please. I'll take it back and rewrite when I've gotten some.

Which group of western heroes has offered you the better stories? As good as all the different Sacket tales are...I prefer the book 'Brionne' by L'Amour. Dusty Fog and the Floating Outfit is what taps my veins. What about you? Be specific only if you so desire.

Ok, so many people have read the book. I myself absolutely love it. But i'm dreading the film. They made a mess of Harry Potter and buggered up Eragon.
Does anyone else have the same feeling as me??

Also they are doing the same with the Artemis Fowl series.


Don't you think the films will completely betray the books?

I have started a study of fairy tales written in the post-medieval up to pre-industrial ages. As part of this I have seen that in many cases the hero or heroine is often classed as beautiful or hansom, so much more so than the fray.

My question is, Do the writers of these stories use a description of physical beauty as a literary cheat to describe their personality?
For example only, Belle from Beauty and the Beast (De Beaumont version) is described as physically beautiful but the story indicates that she is a very kind and caring person as well, holding a lot of passion and loyalty for her friends and family.

So, are the writers of these stories using a visual image to convey character traits?

Please explain.

I thank you in advance.

I don't really have any inspiring relatives. Very interested in journalism, arts, creative writing and literature-- I really want to meet new people in my area that are experienced in these subjects. I'm about to go to college, and I want to have some guidance from writers, authors, journalists, and so on.
