Thread Name: Wild Mountain Thyme - Why doesn't it rhyme
Subject: RE: Wild Mountain Thyme - Why doesn't it rhyme
Members of our creative writing group have been submitting '50 word' pieces to The Scottish Book Trust monthly challenge (they sugggest a title/subject, you interpret it how you will.)
Some people succeed in producing neat sentences......but mine nearly always consist of broken phrases as I try to express the pictures in my mind (and I find 50 words extremely restrictive!!)
A friend, who is a retired teacher of English, commented on my creations, calling them 'poems' - to my amazement, they didn't actually rhyme..... but apparently nowadays they needn't?
