Experimental Poetry

When I was young I hated poetry. The cloying, restricted rhyme patterns and the assinine topics did nothing for me. When I was introduced to free verse I began to change my mind. Now I enjoy reading and writing Experimental Poetry which allows for far more expression and indeed exploration. The ModPo poetry course from UPenn on http://www.coursera.org has opened me up to new techniques and new ways of looking at poetry, hence some of my recent posts and poems. The 10 week course has now ended but the learnings will be with me for life. I plan to try more experimental forms on this blog.
