The End of Rain.

Thats so cool, Ange! I wish there was a way to make the letters and words drip. lol

The End of Rain.

I love it too, except for the word 'greener'... I must be reading it wrong because it doesn't quite seem to fit smoothly with the words on the right. Please tell me how to look at it properly.

Good morning Wild.

I should have moved "greener" more to the left because it is the last word in that section, but I was trying to connect the sections of the poem by centering it. A failed experiment, lol, what can I say...

 

[BooMerengue]

Ange? You're still here? Throw me a picture real quick, ok?

Heres an effort, but weak. I want to say more in fewer words.

Blimey, you're good, girl!

Fewer words? Hmm

Dimly, he recalls being free.



Ange, Good day to you!
And, thanks for the oh so obvious explanation! lol

Oh Boo! That's perfect with the sad eye and the fence behind. You rock!


It's sad that legislation may be passed allowing the wild horses over a certain age to be culled.

<waving at Ange, hope you're having a good day >

I would like to put an image here and would like an opinion on the font used please. What I secretly want is a wispy kind of font but there are bajillions in paint shop pro and I'm still learning them.

I am having a lovely day, my friend, and hope you are as well.

You might want to check out this site for fonts. You can preview them and download them for free, and will likely find just what you need.

Lovely poem, too.

Oh, and I agree--your poem wants a softer font. Maybe a Serif or a Script font would work best.

Thanks Ange! I will have a look through this afternoon after work. That's one of tolyk's photos and I want the words to be secondary to the photo because it's so beautiful.

Must have been that piece of lint that was in mine when I wrote it.

a double first for me

first attempt at an illustrated poem, and first attempt at a Triolet!

Alex

Edited the pic - lettering was too hard to read, so I solarised the image and relettered in white

Excellente, Alex! My only suggestion might be to use white text instead of red on this illustration cause the red's a bit hard for me to see (but maybe that's just me). Great work though.

I see you like form poems. Have you ever tried a terzanelle? They're fun to write. If you're interested I'll post a link to the form.

The white got lost when I tried it! I'll play about with the illustration later (busy this afternoon) and see if I can make the text more legible. Terzanelle I never heard of. Terza rima, yes. Post the link, you have me curious. As for form poems, I dunno. I'm just playing about, and the triolet is short . . .

Good on you for editing your illustrated poem!

Here is a good explanation of the terzanelle with an example of one. As you see, the terzanelle combines the interlocking feature of the terza rima with the rhyme scheme and repetitions of another French form, the villanelle. I find them easier to write than villanelles, so I can be a bit more creative with them. Good luck!

I just knew you'd blow me away. You make it look so flipping easy too. lol

Beautiful illustration and lovely Triolet Alex. Now submit it so I can vote!
