I Have a Dream
I just took a poetry IQ test at poetry.com and got a 10 out of 11. Not bad..although would you believe I mixed up simile and metaphor. I think I did that in school, too. DUH!!!! DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Here's what my score description says: 8-11Â Â Â Â Â Â Â You have an excellent grasp of poetic form, structure, and technique. People at this level have generally taken advanced-level study in literature or have completed advanced poetry courses. They have often spent considerable time writing, developing their own poetic "voice," and their own techniques. People at this level, particularly if they can apply their knowledge of poetic form and structure to their own work, are considered among the most talented of poetic artists.
I also had to submit a poem. I submitted a recent one. "The Yard Sale" (see september posts) It will be neat to see how they critique it. I am supposed to get something in the mail within 7 weeks. Fun. Great website, too. Yee Ha.
