Is your plan to compile these into one poem eventualy? Or is it a set of stand-alone one liners? This one's very fresh by the way - captured the moment again :)
Some years back my project was to write a haiku - Japanese, 3 line, 17 syllable poem - each day. They were stand alone poems. One of my aims in this project was to do something similar. However it has crossed my mind to use this material for a poem or poems at some point.
Some poems take 3 or 4 months to finish and some if I'm lucky take half an hour or so.
It depends.
The poetry world is a difficult one to be sucessful in.
It takes a lot of time and energy mental and emotional to send poems out to magazines and competitions. And I don't have very much time or the emotional resources to cope with rejections.
I'm invited to read at The Troubadour in Kennsington every so often.
If I want lots of people to read my stuff I put my own booklet together. The last one sold around 200 copies.
Talanted?? I don't know. I've been writing poems since I was 15. I think if you do anything for that long you are bound to develop some skill in that area, skate boarding, exams, football!
Send £5.00 with a SAE to David Loffman, Richmond Upon Thames College, Egerton Road, Twickenham TW2 7SJ
And I'll send you the last booklet. Slaying a Dragon about the year I spent in hospital during 2004/5. And if I can find a spare booklet on haikus I'll put that in too.
This looks like the perfect place for a game of Tabula. Hi David. We havent been to the wetlands yet! I like the one line idea: I must think of one to describe a game of tabula. Hope to see you all before too long

Thanks again for your encouraging comments.
How long would it take you to write a poem from scratch?
I would like to say that I think you're a really talented poet, have you ever been published?

3-4 months? Impressive - you should really send your stuff out! But I can imagine that it must be hard to put something so personal up to be judged...
What's The Troubadour? 200 copies? I'd chance a guess that you have a couple of fans! :D
Anyway, I for one would definitely buy a book of your poetry, I reckon

Thanks - I'll do that.
