'I was mumbling about you In my sleep' 'Mumbling' is not the best connotation as an opening. Using the word 'you' makes the poem personal, but for whom? The reader or lover? How about, as an opening: On the page of a dream I talked to him/you/her 'I took to fleet When I awoke to find you there...' The word 'fleet' is disjointed as are the line breaks. Where is 'there...' You have neither set the scene nor built any image for the reader to cling to. The '...' is not needed as the next sentence follows on. If you wish the reader to pause, then use the_ If we unravel the whole sentence, a piece of string as it were, and place them in a single line so that...http://www.englishforums.com/English/UnfinishedPoem/xzxv/post.htm#72172Fri, 04 Feb 2005 23:36:25 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:72172hepoI apologise for not answering sooner.

The concept of reading in regards to improving one's own writing, is a well known thesis. You can, of course, take it a step further, which is the analytical breakdown of the sentence/column/essay. It is here that the reader dissects each grape like word, and when doing so asks simple questions, such as: 'Why Here? Why the image? Why does it sound so sweet?'

The Professor's observations, in regards to teaching children with learning disabilities, were quite amazing. Simply put, he introduced contemporary poetry to their National Curriculum. Thereafter the children's literary abilities reached higher then ever recorded levels for articulation. So, to you, I say, trot down to the nearest library and give the poetry section and damned good kicking.

If you have a desire to improve your English, reading and analysing poetry is the way to go. You'll be amazed how quickly your English improves. As to your poem. In my opinion a lot more work is needed here. The Imagination and imagery is fine but in such abundance as to wear the reader down. Reduce the versus.

Try this if you like: While You Slept "Morning rose with a jubilant yawn and on they came sliding on sunbeams, the cracks and pin holes of our curtain: weary stares - after a night of hard labour - tired and lost finding refuge in kiss curls: the little blond hammocks of your hair. You were the vessel and stars the crew. Jealousy became me: to blow hot and lustful- like the harsh wind of zephyr to the Sahara's soft sands, it was cruel of me. And so I woke you."http://www.englishforums.com/English/WtIsThisTalkingAbout/mplk/post.htm#65800Thu, 06 Jan 2005 16:32:34 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:65800hepoIts a song by 'Dido,' and perhaps a tad unfair to say, 'what's it about.' Its rare that lyrics produce literary ripples worthy of any note, and the primary motive for a song/music is to be a good mood enhancer and thereby sell lots of those saucer sized plastic discs. But a song must have some meaningful expression, I hear you say, and in most cases they do. In this song its difficult for the listener to establish if she's singing directly to her lover or to the audience, but understanding the chorus is the main key to deciphering the whole song: 'But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy,' ect; She expresses her point as a simile, comparing renting accommodation all one's life and never owning / choosing the right...http://www.englishforums.com/English/MrCongYijiAndI/mwvr/post.htm#65761Thu, 06 Jan 2005 14:45:49 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:65761hepoWhat a pleasant photograph.
