28 Dec 2004, 11:15 AM  | Poetic types You can hide this advertisement by registering. Given that there are some people here who write poetry, tell me where you're at.Personally I am struggling at the moment with my concept - I am writing but my concept is too vague. I have been writing, one poem was really well recieved, so that was cool. Perhaps we could post one of the poems we have written for critiquing or something...

4 Oct 2007, 11:24 PM  | i'm in the phase where my teacher and my mum just come up to me with random things and ask me if it makes me feel inspired. I've written like... three poems but its really hard to actually sit down and get the ideas on paper. At knox there was a girl who had written like... 24 poems or something. I think half the room was just in shock.

28 Dec 2004, 11:15 AM | But it's not about the amount of poems you've written, it's whether you can actually use them or not. I have exactly that problem, I have written tonnes of poems, but can hardly use any of them

Yesterday, 7:36 PM | I've written 11 poems, all of which I plan to use in my collection. I will write about another 3 and i will have a word amount of about 3200 then. I am VERY happy at the progress of my work so far. I think im lucky cause i have had my concept even before I started the course |

8 Nov 2005, 9:46 AM | hahahahaha - i asked pretty much the same question in the other poetry thread!! I've written TONNES of poems (i write poetry regularly anyway - so some times i just use some of my personal ones...) BUT - i just changed my idea............for the second time.....so i'm not using any of them......the original idea i had, i thought up b4 i took the course.... I decided I was going to do Ext 2 as soon as i saw it was offered in the HSC - which was way back in the end of yr ten.....(back in the day....) I can't believe u guys have already done ur Vivas! My teacher decided to give us ALL holidays to think about keeping the course.....and our concepts/ideas.......instead of telling us to get started......our proposals were only due - not long ago!! but yeah anyway - what r ppl's topics?  anyone else annoyed with working out word limits??

5 Apr 2004, 5:57 PM | With my poetry, I'm linking all of them together under a common theme, but im writing each one with a different style I've researched. I've looked at different poets styles and also researched into my inspiration and subject matter. At this stage I've written two of my poems, however I spent a lot of time researching. My topic I chose is significant moments/ rites of passage in my own life that have changed the direction of my life, and I'm using styles such as sonnets, free verse, children's poetry and looking into techniques of poets such Yeats and Ted Hughes.

28 Dec 2004, 11:15 AM | 20 poems, dear me that is quite a lot. I think I have changed my entire idea for my major work, my original theme doesn't seem to fit what I have been writing. I am pretty confident in my skills in writing, but unfortunately that isn't enough, I need to have a strong link and theme going, which at present, is not happening.
