Dearest All -- in honor on Poetry Month (April) which is fast approaching, here's a link to some poetic forms to learn about and play with:

The list isn't complete, but each form does include a link to further info about it.

Have fun!

Not least: it's very informative as well.

Loved the monster, Freddie. Personal friend of yours? *LOL* Thanks for the giggle.

Thanks for this link, dearest Jane. I'm sure it will prove very useful to many. I'll put it in the WPF Library eventually. It's a great resource!
