I have been writing poetry for many years now. I write most often in rhyme, but have followed advice to use different styles too. My poems are quite often written about things that have happened personally, so therefore, may be exasperating, funny, happy, sad and even angry, although never disrespectful. (Luckily for certain companies!) I have now diversified a bit these days, and have enjoyed script writing, especially musicals, with melody and lyrics. However, Painted words of the South, relates to being so overawed by the fantastic scenery of New Zealand's South Island. A wonderful place I felt, as the poem says...be frightened to miss... Just one traveller's impression! ;
