I have written poems before, but not by a teacher telling me what to write... And I would love to write in in Shakespeare dialect, But my poem is due tomorrow.... I am freaking out please try to give your advice in a simpler form.... Ok you want me to cut it... But is it a little good, like is the rythym of "Trying to find a new beginning..." work out ????http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWritingInformationInto-Poem/bqrqd/post.htm#163235Thu, 23 Apr 2009 01:07:10 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:163235Mister Micawber2http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWritingInformationInto-Poem/bqrqd/post.htm#163235http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments13-163235.xmlPoetry is prose cut short and sweet, MP3. As MrP says, it is now just prose. Start by taking out as much as you can, until you feel a rhythm coming; then carve it out like sculpture from a marble block. How can I tell you who I am? I am Tunisian, German, Polish. I entered the world outside Paris, France, A descendant of the Bedouins,Berbers Fleeing Tunis with the Muslim invasion, Trying to find a new beginning in France; Polish immigrants, Entering America through the Ellis portal, Trying to find a new beginning in America, Etc.http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWritingInformationInto-Poem/bqrqd/post.htm#163189Mon, 23 Feb 2009 02:07:10 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:163189MrPedantic3http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWritingInformationInto-Poem/bqrqd/post.htm#163189http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments13-163189.xmlHello MC3 It's quite literal, as it stands. It sounds a little like the notes you might write in the Any Other Comments box of a official form. Why not try to find a succession of images to suggest the different cultures, rather than making an outright statement – images of food, for instance?

That is a wonderful heritage that you have-- it is fascinating!
