My reference in context was to the fact that I am still at or near the beginning of another 12month period which is marked by an age-label.<br /><br />The cooperation grew I think out of a simple idea. Also, originally, now I remember, out of a Qarrtsiluni project on the theme "changing signatures". It evolved and probably still is evolving. I don't know what Lucy thinks.<br /><br />In this poem I allowed the rhymes to take over a bit. At first I tried to avoid rhyming all together. Then I thought that rhymes might help search out what was at the back of my mind. In the end what I found dictated the form, and as the form didn't set out to be anything of an established nature, I felt happy about what emerged.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-77037361471434028532010-11-08T12:59:48.988+00:002010-11-08T12:59:48.988+00:00Another reason why the champagne's on me.

One point I wish to quiz you on is using lines that rhyme some of the time - not that I think there's any reason why not. I'm interested too in this collaborative technique. You did guide me with the villanelle but but that was more a student/teacher relationship; what you appear to be doing in Compasses seems more grown-up.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-54852302484569513392010-11-07T18:29:11.666+00:002010-11-07T18:29:11.666+00:00I thought September... do you have an official and...I thought September... do you have an official and another like HM?Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-3920569606456523812010-11-07T17:51:51.804+00:002010-11-07T17:51:51.804+00:00Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!!

Congratulations, Plutarch, have a happy day with many many more creative and lovely years ahead! <br /><br />I was pleasantly surprised to find your poem earlier and truly enjoyed it -glad to see you and lucy are taking it up again.<br /><br />By the way, our daughter and family will soon be moving out of London to a little village not too far from Tunbridge Wells. We hope another visit to the UK will work out sometime next year.marja-leenahttp://www.marja-leena-rathje.infonoreply@blogger.com
