Poetry Conversation

I’ve a poem today at “The Skeptic’s Kaddish,” in the section devoted to Poetry Partners, David Bogomolny’s idea to create conversations of poems with readers of his blog. Please check it out here: “conversant.”

David, aka ben Alexander, is fond of traditional poetic forms, some fairly obscure. I’ve been more into free or self created forms, form follows function or content, that sort of thing, but in “conversant” there are repeating words, suggesting a kind of anaphora, or epanaphora, since the repetition is limited to one word, and loosely placed stanza to stanza. Thanks to David for sharing his blog and for his “sijo” to finish the conversation.
