I am currently exploring the notion of using poetry as a form of memoir writing. My natural poetic style is the narrative form or flow of consciousness. I make no pretence at rhyme, rhythm or meter, although it is surprising how all those elements can appear in my writing. I have posted two poems on my Poetry Blog - Verse and Words. At the moment I visualise mixing the poetic form with conventional writing.
The Frailty of Memory - "When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not; but I am getting old, and soon I shall remember only the latter" - Mark Twain, a Biography
