[stylist] To Ashley...Re: Icicles and Myrna

Lynda gives the best advice here and I am applauding  it.   READ POETRY to 
write poetry.  Actually READ any genre to write  in that genre.  I give this 
advice to young or new writers on a poetry I  help out on too.  I've only 
been writing about 12 years but early on an  English professor told me I 
should 'delve' into writing but yours truly wasn't  'delving' into that  LOL  He 
also told me to read the work of others  because that would be the truest 
way to find my own niche, if I  should choose to follow his advice and 
'delve'.  About 30 years later  I did just that and realized what my professor was 
trying to tell me.   Spread your wings and soar.  Explore the craft.  You 
will be surprised  at all the good things you can learn.  I still do this 
even after 12 years  of sharing my words. It guides me just as much as my own 
words do.

Great!
Read a lot of poetry - that is your best teacher. Read  all you can, all 
kinds.  The more you read other people's work, the  more ideas will come to 
you for your own poems.  Read a lot of  different kinds, and eventually 
you'll begin to find what really moves you  personally.
