Colin Douglas: A beginning writer learns the rules. A good writer follows the rules. A great writer breaks the rules--and gets away with it.
    Nerdette: pfft.. and as you commented my last poem (with the taping of paper and crayons).. I technically broke the rules.. though sadly I don't think I got away with it. I ALMOST did. (: -
    Colin Douglas: Getting away with it makes all the difference. As I recall the format and style was simple, but because of the topic this worked perfectly. That's getting away with something. :) -
