Golden master of flight

That all sounds very complicated to me. I have enough difficult writing freeform.
I’m normally a free form kinda girl except for the occasional haiku… just started trying out some different forms for a bit of a challenge. I’ve rather enjoyed some of the forms…I thought my Villanelle came out very well 🙂
P>S> Doesn’t seem as if you have difficulties 🙂
Thanks for sharing these, Melanie.You have definitely mastered these interesting formats. I will have to try some. 🙂
Thank you! I’m learning and having fun. You should try them (that is why I posting the definitions and instructions in case someone is so inclined)
I agree with Brian. Sounds like a lot of rules to adhere to, but you do a wonderful job within any framework that is thrown at you.
Thanks Cubby! Too kind 🙂

Outstanding…AJM
Thank you so much for the reblog!
Outstanding and the picture is amazing.
Thanks!
I really must break free of my haiku, tanka and the other free stuff i enjoy writing. I remember when I wrote my first tanka – I thought I was jumping off of a bridge!
I still love my haiku and free verse…but it doesn’t hurt to experiment…don’t abandon what works for you though 🙂
Can’t think of a better way to describe the eagle… Outstanding!
Thank you:)
