<blockquote>
Blessèd sister, holy mother, spirit of the fountain, spirit of the<br />
garden,<br />
Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood<br />
Teach us to care and not to care<br />
Teach us to sit still<br />
Even among these rocks,<br />
Our peace in His will<br />
And even among these rocks<br />
Sister, mother<br />
And spirit of the river, spirit of the sea,<br />
Suffer me not to be separated<br /><br />

And let my cry come unto Thee.<br /><br />
-- TS Eliot "Ash Wednesday"

== Pages I Hope To Improve ==

<ul>
<li>[[pantoum]] -- expanding on poetic form (have done a little work, will work on further revision)</li>
<li>[[poetry]] -- want to expand on historical context, and expand the listing of forms, meters, etc, make a more complete article -- still working on a rough proposal and working out the structure, will post suggested revisions to talk page before I do any major revision</li>
<li>[[iambic pentameter]] -- want to expand on this some</li>
<li>[[anaphora]] -- want to expand a little on this</li>
</ul>

There's a lot of pages I'd like to contribute to -- I will post more details as I develop a plan.

== Pages I've Created ==
<ul>
<li>[[trochee]] -- added a missing poetic foot (plan to continue improving and revising)</li>
<li>[[stanza]] -- added missing poetic term (plan to continue improving and revising)</li>
<li>[[quatrain]] -- added missing poetic term (plan to continue improving and revising)</li>
<li>[[dactyl]] -- added missing poetic foot (plan to continue improving and revising)</li>
<li>[[anapest]] -- added missing poetic foot (plan to continue improving and revising)</li>
<li>[[spondee]] -- added missing poetic foot (plan to continue improving and revising)</li>
<li>[[caesura]] -- added missing poetic technique (plan to continue improving and revising)</li>
<li>[[calcareous]] -- added missing term.
</ul>

== Pages I Plan on Creating ==
<ul>
<li>[[aubade]] -- missing poetic thematic form</li>
<li>[[acrostic]] or maybe [[acrostic poem]] -- missing poetic form</li>
<li>[[assonance]] -- missing poetic term</li>
<li>[[epigram]] -- missing poetic thematic form</li>
<li>[[falling meter]] -- missing poetic term</li>
<li>[[ode]] -- missing literary term</li>

</ul>

Nothing too solid at the moment, I'd like to add more details about poetry terms, add some of the missing metrical and poetic feet, forms, will update when I have a more solid plan.
