Expertise

I can answer all questions on the writing of standard prose (rhyming) poetry, formatting, stanzas and rhyming issues. I have limited knowledge of the writing of freestyle poetry (non rhyming poetry--because I do not see it as poetry and therefore have no use for it) so I may or may not be able to help you with the writing of it, but can help with the formatting of it. My knowledge lies extensively in the workings of standard prose poetry. I CAN NOT help you (so PLEASE do not waste my time or yours) with the following types of questions: 1. "What is the name of this poem/what poem-book, etc is this line from" 2. Where can I find "such and such" book 3. Homework questions. For instance: "Show me an example of", "Define 'this' for me," "What does this mean", etc. These are homework questions easily searchable by the Internet where answers are more than likely already provided. I WILL NOT DO YOUR HOMEWORK FOR YOU!!! My expertise is on the WRITING of rhyming poetry only.
