The Question

Can I learn to write poetry? This blog is intended to chart my attempt to learn to write poetry. I intend to post poems I have written, reactions to poems that I have read and other poetry related thoughts and resources.

After that basic question comes a host of other questions. Why? Where to start? How will I know if I have suceeded?

Why? I have time and inclination. Time due to chronic illness. Inclanation due to a desire to find a form of expression that will be less affected than drawing and painting, by increasing difficulty using my hands.

Where to start? I have started in two ways. I have started reading poetry on a daily basis and I have started writing poetry on a daily basis.

How will I know if I have suceeded? That I do not know.
