That's rather haiku-ish.
The Great Write Way
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Which is funny, considering that my prose pieces are long rambly things.
Poetry is fun. I wrote some after a long dry spell in writing nearly 20 years ago now. I may have to post it.
Hey, folks in the know...When one is submitting a non-fiction essay to online magazines, is it bad form to approach more than one at a time? Do I have to wait to get rejected by one to move onto the other?
Generally, yeah, unless you know for a fact they accept SS. What I do is rewrite significant sections, so I'm technically shopping different essays. Because I am mercenary.

tympani of color,
russet and gold and flame.
I adore the first three lines of this section, Steph - the 'tympani of color' wins a "oh, yeah, of course, that's what it's like except I've never used those words before" from me. I'd fool with the last line, though. It feels a little... mannered? It doesn't have the same flow.
I like it, though. It does a good job of evoking that first week of real chill, when it's still a new and fabulous thing.
Poetry is fun.
Sometimes. Sometimes it's just a job. And sometimes it's like bleeding from the eyes.
Very nice. I like both the phrasing and the concept.
Test for possible future poetry posting
Checking for line breaks.
edit: hmph. OK, how do you do line breaks? I checked the quick-edit.
Line breaks are made by hitting only one return at the end of a line, and putting < br > (w/o spaces) at the end of the line.
So this (w/o spaces in the brackets):
Here is < br >
how you < br >
do it.
Would look like this:
Here is
how you
do it.
Is this
the way?
Edit: t cue mr. burns EH-xcellent.
