The idea of this blog is to record my fledging attempts at poetry writing as I work my way through the writing course in Stephen Fry’s ‘The Ode Less Travelled’.
In each chapter he sets exercises that you must work through and gradually you learn about form and metre and various other aspects of verse writing.
What I put on here will be highly unlikely to be deep or profound, but I hope that it will interesting to follow any development that takes place.
Everything is hand written and the typed up later, without censorship or editing.
