Poets who want to share their craft of writing, with free verse focus. Not my temple.

How hopeful I used to be…I keep forgetting what I’m dealing with here. Look at me go:

-- inspiration, prompts, discussion, contests and other activities energizing fresh, new writing

Wheelbarrow’s focus includes origins and some history of free verse. We can learn from the great free verse poets and live outside conventional forms to breathe new life into our words. We can explore inspiration that contributes to this style of poetry.

— an attempt to have fun and explore how these styles differ from other poetry, show poetic devices, clues to what’s necessary to discern.

DISCLAIMER:

I do not intend to be an authority, suggest internet resources to 'I don't know.' Encouragement to take words and plug it into free verse formulas, enrichiung the writing experience.

— let the soul's spirit get drunk on (especially coffee) the collection of these constructs, as your advisor, and community (hopefully) friend.

It is your own self-will and motivation that you only need apply to whatever you're comfortable attempting. Thank you for being a part of this experience. *Smile*

Unhid 7/22/25 (you might as well know, since I’m left to fend…
6/25/21 to present:

This was an ambitious project for me, legally blind and learning I’ve struggled lifelong with the compulsions as ADHD person/writer, amid throes of renaissance on this website. I was met with unforeseen obstacles after the Wheelbarrow project began. My vision and response for this group had other plans for me.

After a break, with time to reassess, this project moves forward, The value of this group relies on me and hopeful participation, lacking insight other WDC members have that inspire this community.

I hope to do more, balance with what energizes me. Taking a step back time to time gives better perspective. Allows me to check myself, now that I’m getting a handle on life going forward.

I felt this group could grow out of it's love of writing and sharing in this community. We can broaden and/or embolden visions together or apart and learn with each other what the rest of the world aspires to know.

You teach cynicism…it’s your fault if you don’t contribute to world. I did, but look what I get for being restless and wanting to help. No clue until recent:
