A workshop proposal.

Please, if you would, offer your thoughts on this.

A little while back Rula thought about running a workshop based on a few of the smaller structured poem formats.
Life got in the way and nothing happened. But it made me think it a good idea. I am proposing to run three small workshops in a row, each one discussing and writing a poem in a smaller western structured format.
The poems I propose to use are the Terza Rima, Ottava Rim and the Rhyming Sestina.
They sound complex and difficult, but they are surprisingly simple once explained.
The purpose of the workshop is to introduce participants to three forms classically used, but uncommon today.
I would very much like to know if there could be interest in such a workshop (or series of workshops).
Let me know.

Twice, Good idea!

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.

terza rima sounds like a mesa in hoodo lands....
highway sixty six vision lands
drove through this in night....tunnels I remember
as the highway cut through mountians in 87..
missed the most magical part...
my sister tried to wake us but we were all exhausted
and slept through it....it was for her too see the
magic and majesty of that!
the van trip of summer..

excellent! godspeed in your recovery!
