Unfinished Poetry
Forums:
I suspect you are all like me in one respect. You have a number of poems which are well begun then left unfinished for lack of figuring out where the poem should go. Anybody interested in a near future workshop to help deal with these unfinished poems?

Very good
A lot of times my muse strikes as a single line. I then have to decide if it's a first or last line lol

Then you need a first line.
Then you need a first line. Unless the ring trick is applied. Lol.

Many times I start to write
Under the spell that it will turn out well
Suddenly there's no ending in sight

Oh dear God. I have this hump
Oh dear God. I have this hump on my back that I've been wrestling with for years.
Its not a poem as such, but rather song lyrics in the style of "Ian Dury and the block heads"
if there is relief from said hump to be had anywhere, take pity and point the way, I fear I may develop camel foot.

It appears there is enough interest to proceed with getting a syllabus together. I anticipate it starting a bout March first and running about 4-5 weeks. Keep an eye on this thread for official announcement and welcome to Neopoet......stan

Yes
a unfinshed poetry workshop would be very helpful. I myself often leave some poems unended simply because i cant think of a suitable ending

I have two themes I've touched on in dribs and drabs-
'Symptoms of Testosterone', I wrote part 2 before part 1, do you remember it? It outraged every American here and
'Lies for Children'.

The start date will have to be in early April.
We need a list of things needed that unfinished poems need.
Theme and format should be a good start ???
Take care await your Workshop,

I regret
That due to looming surgery deadline and slow participation in a shop meant to be intense and of short duration that I don't have enough time to give this shop the time it deserves. I am thus regretfully closing it. i hope to revisit this subject in a future shop and I appreciate all who signed up for it.......stan

Hi raj
The actual surgery is 23rd of April. But with all I have to do in preparation of both surgery and subsequent months of immobility I've run out of time to complete this shop. I appreciate your concern......stan

As we have 7 poets already talking here can we just carry on with your workshop.
As the poets put their poems on stream they can be paired up and then at the end of the workshop many days from now we can all have a comment on the revised poem.
I will assist as much as possible and carry on while you are away.
You just up and get better, we need more of those walks among the silver birches and the boulder ridges, we have come to know through your writes,
Yours as always Ian..
PS:- The following poets have agreed to take part, so shall we just get on with it and wait your return ?????

OK
Carry on. Let's continue the discussion here as to the reasons a poem might be begun then left unfinished. Ya'll have ideas why this might happen? PS now this is what I call REALLY participant driven lol. I'd suggest a few more day's discussion then begin posting unfinished poems one every other day in order in which participants signed up. Post poems on stream with (unfinished poetry) beside title.
Ian, if you don't mind why don't you assign the two members who are to complete each poem? Have them post their completed versions beneath each uncompleted poem on stream in the comments section. This way the uncompleted poem and both alternate completed versions can be viewed at one place.
As each completed version is posted then it can be commented upon and suggestions given.
At the end of the shop then each person who entered their incomplete poem will then use ideas given to complete their own poem. This author completed poem will then be posted on stream with (completed version) next to title.
PS I'll be around about one more week then will be AWOL for a while. I'll now change shop duration to ending sometime in june.........stan
