Poetry Project
I started to try and put some rhyming to this poem and I decided on an ABAB rhyming structure. Then, I have to confess it didn't take me that long, I realized the poem needed a major face-lift, but I had warned about this in the previous post. So, for today, I have just trimmed it up some and posted it on here without bothering to rhyme it, as I might still edit it again tomorrow. However, I don't intend to do more than a couple of more posts on the poem, so I will keep the editing to a minimum and move on to the cool, rhyme part.

Poetry
I love poetry; writing it, reading it, others', mine, short, long, etc. I love experiencing a stimulation which leads me to a few verses, which in turn lead to a few more. I, especially, love epics and I'm hoping to write a book length one soon based on some subject or other which has not blessed my cranium with its presence yet. By and by, however, I shall be stimulated and the result, God-willing, shall be worth the wait.
When I write, however, I find that I'm not focused on rhyming and structure. I tend to focus, rather, on the way it flows; on a rhythm in my head. Now, I have attempted to fix a poem and make it rhyme. I started by writing it in my regular way (I haven't edited it either, not sure whether to do it now) and then going over it and arranging or substituting words to make it rhyme.
Here's a scan of it, I will upload the edits as I go finish them. This is very raw, and it will be radically different when it's done. Click on it to expand and read it better.

My Work
Going over some of my work, I have no idea what to think of them. On one hand, I like what I'm reading, but on the other...not quite what I want yet.
I'm submitting some poems to different places tomorrow and more in the coming weeks. I wish there was a pill for motivation, as there is a noticeable difference when I write for the sake of writing and not from inspiration.
Anyways, here's the Kindergarten Kid I used to motivate my students with, I think I need to motivate myself, so I will post it here.
Also, a link for submitting your work, if you weren't aware of it already: http://www.newpages.com/literary/submissions.htm
