I will be taking a month hiatus from posting my hasty poetry.
Why?- you ask?
I decided I need to quit effing around and get serious with what I write about.
Also- when I post these things, I kinda just move on and never edit and never attempt to better em.
I will be working on research poems. If you would like to know what these are, please comment.
Joint blogs will continue through this lengthened poetry-writing lacuna.
Woop!

umm that haitus picture was so effing funny. i want to get it tattooed somewhere on my body.
i will want to know what your research poems are and how they are progressing. keep me dated-up girl!
What is a research poem?
I guess I was reaching for comments with the whole mysterious "research poem" set-up.
They are basically poems written about historically based events. Sort of like how people write historically based fiction novels. Instead of writing my simple observation poems, I am going to begin to study various events from the past, or even current events. The reason I will not post for a while is because this will take me a great deal of time to "master" (or get a good grasp) of all the different factors that will go into the poem.
I am beginning with studying how to write a research piece and how other writers have gone about doing it.
