Poet, English Enthusiast, Academic Web Developer, Hopelessly Optimistic

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

And let my cry come unto Thee.

-- TS Eliot "Ash Wednesday"

Pages I Hope To Improve

• pantoum -- expanding on poetic form (have done a little work, will work on further revision)
• 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
• iambic pentameter -- want to expand on this some
• anaphora -- want to expand a little on this

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

• anapest -- added missing poetic foot (plan to continue improving and revising)

• acrostic or maybe acrostic poem -- missing poetic form
• assonance -- missing poetic term
• epigram -- missing poetic thematic form
