For most people, cinquain poetry is something impractical and useless. Partially, I agree with them. Most teachers don't find pleasure in teaching poetry nor do most students find it interesting. Almost all students want to learn things which are practical and useful. This makes cinquain poetry--a very uncomplicated subject, very difficult to teach. It seems impossible to make students become interested in cinquain poetry. However, as they say, "If there's a will, there's a way".

A cowboy poet, be it a he or she, generally proclaims a dramatic event with livestock experienced on a ranch in wide-open spaces. However, like cowboys themselves, their poetry style or content isn't hampered or fenced in by barbed wire and other constraints. It's usually strong in meter and rhyme following the style of Robert Service, one of the great poets of all time, but it can also be free verse or anything in-between.

Through the years many forms of writing have come and gone. Prose is one of those examples of writing that has largely gone out of style in our current day and age. It is still out there in certain forms, but the old-fashioned poem has taken a back-seat to more modern variants of this lyrical stringing together of words.

Instant Poetry (Just Add Words!), by Larry Berger
I was intrigued when I received a copy of this poetry chapbook for review. It isn't the typical poetry book. The author, 'Laughing' Larry Berger, improvised these poems onstage in front of an interactive audience in various coffee houses in Los Angeles in 1996.

Poetry is a beautiful form of self-expression that can lead readers to new insights as well as entertain readers, make them laugh, and move them deeply. That said, poetry books are very difficult to sell, and many poets fail to write marketable poems or present their poetry collections in a marketable way. While a poet may get a great deal of self-satisfaction from writing poetry, publishing a poetry book is of little purpose if no one is going to buy or read it. Here are a few guidelines for making a poetry book more marketable.

Writing a single poem is sometime very laborious or trouble-free depending on how the poet uses his wide and brilliant imagination. Oftentimes our minds are filled with great images but we are having a hard time converting it into a wonderful poem. Translating the image conceived by our inquisitive minds into a captivating verse requires deep focus for us to perfectly draw the overall appearance of the picture.

Shimmerfall writes "By Karen Elizabeth Rigley
I tried to resist. I really did. For awhile I avoided the onslaught of fellow authors saying come on over and join us. Seeing their wares displayed online and hearing their sale accomplishments, tempted and lured me. Eventually, I bundled up award-winning books and stories and began the process. "

Gregan writes "By John Sammon
I think 1981 was the year both Elizabeth Taylor and myself appeared on the daytime soap opera General Hospital, not on the same day, but in different episodes. She of course had a meatier role than I. I was used as set dressing, playing a menacing bad guy.
