>>I bookmarked your link so I cab spend more time with it. Thank you so much.<<
You're welcome! That's on my main writing site, if you haven't seen that before, so there's a bunch of stuff out there -- the books, my poetry archive, the crowdfunding info section, etc.
>>Did you happen to see that little boy who is writing poetry. He was invited to read at an event, I think, for the NY governor. She saw him an open mike night.<<
I haven't seen that. The earliest of my poetry is in my parents' handwriting -- I started before I could actually write.
>> I enjoy haiku. I do miss writing other forms, I'm just very rusty. I was looking-up poetry forms online and was disappointed at what I found. <<
Oh, just look at the header for the January Poetry Fishbowl, I linked to form resources there. You do have to hunt around a bit. Ideally, a good form page will give you: * a description of the form's purpose, history, and any common themes * a letter guide to its rhyme scheme, if any * a dash guide to its stress pattern, if any * one or more example poems

Lewis Turco has put out three editions of his Book of Forms, which is the best paper guidebook I've found, though it's just the mechanics rather than examples. I have the first two editions. The third one is here:

A good how-to book is Creating Poetry by John Drury:

>>I'm really glad you linked me so I can check-out your book.<<
I have three. There's a Pagan liturgy guide, a collection of nature poems, and a collection of science fiction poems.
