I'm waaaay late for this one... but I need the writing practice...since I've gone rusty from my long absence...here goes the suggestion to insert

...
no one else she’d rather be
the daring flight to an eagle’s nest
isn’t what she really does best
the soaring wings of a phoenix takes flight
for her every plight
drops away to grains of salt
rubbing wounds to burn
untamed, yet willing
her soul gently quiets
for one day soon they will look upon her face
and know of her tastes


..as I said... i'm rusty.. sounds kind of mixed up and blah.. but *shrugs* it was practice... you can use it if you want to.

Thanks for the practice run Delirious.

ha... i got 8 out of 11... it told me i was nifty.

Nifty huh, lol that just may stick, wassup nifty

well they said it much more eloquently than I, but that was the basics.

Ure cute little nifty~lix~

"You have an excellent grasp of poetic form, structure, and technique. People at this level have generally taken advanced-level study in literature or have completed advanced poetry courses. They have often spent considerable time writing, developing their own poetic “voice,” and their own techniques. People at this level, particularly if they can apply their knowledge of poetic form and structure to their own work, are considered among the most talented of poetic artists."


lol... and that's the truth.

But honestly I have never taken an advanced level course in poetry or creative writing or anything. Studied it on my own, sure. And I definitly have a lust for discovering new great poets and poems and such. I just have such a love for this artform.

I wonder what names they'll call me. hehehe I dunno dick about forms and crap

I am doing a Literature degree and I still got 8...makes me wonder what I'm paying so much money for! don't mind being as clever as the nifty one though..

well, i mean, i am reasonably intelligent, so I don't think you should feel too bad. I've also done a whooooole lot of reading and studying on my own, so yeah... i'm not a complete dolt. lol.

I got 9 for 11


Your General Poetic Knowledge Score is 9 out of a possible 11.

Doll, we are in the same generic knowledge of the poetic form.
Well I rarely get writers block, I don't write that often anymore, and I think that the only reason I don't get it is b/c I write from experience and what I feel and I write ideas down, then if I can't put it into form, I come back to it when I have enough energy to, and also when I haven't written anything for a while, I go back and finish poems that I left for a rainy day, but I don't write all that well. Good luck to all who have blocks.
