I read the Pew Internet and American Life project report again. The study was done in collaboration with the College Board’s National Commission on Writing. Some 700 “nationally representative children,” aged between 12 and 17 and their parents took the questionnaire. Here are the highlights

Teens aged 12-17 who engage at least occasionally in some form of electronic personal communication (text messaging, email or instant messaging, posting comments in social networking sites): 85% Teens who do not think of these electronic texts as “writing”: 60% Teens who say that they sometimes use texting styles instead of proper capitalization and punctuation in their school assignments: 50% Parents of teens who feel that there is a slide in the quality of today compared to the writing 20 years ago: 83% Teens who believe that good writing is important to success in life: 86% Teens who say that their school work requires writing either “every day” or “several times a week”: 85% Teens who report that their typical school writing assignment is a paragraph to one page in length: 82% Teens who feel that additional in-class writing time would improve their writing abilities: 82% Teens who say that their internet-based writing of materials such as emails and instant messages has helped improve their overall writing: 15% Teens who say that this kind of writing makes no difference to their school writing: 73%

Absolutely telling! Our teens are fully aware texting doesn’t boost their language ability even if they’re practising it all day. A large number wants additional writing time in class – admission that they need improvement. And most know good writing is crucial to success; the best talkers into mobile or microphone need to master this art.
You can’t argue with this: writing comes with practice. Which should be supplemented by constant correction and analysis of what went wrong. Why don’t you check out if websites like this one have an answer?

The paint substance is kind of stickey. If you try to wash the window the wrighting smears insteads

As we all know, there are so many types and genres of poetry and learning it one by one is time consuming, simply ‘cos one must first seek and understand the meaning of each form, before one can write a poem of his/her own in a chosen form or style, but if you are like me, (patient enough to learn new things) who loves

creating/inventing new poetic form, then bare with me and I’ll share with you the hints writing poetry in a new poetic form called “Rhyme Incorporated”

A “Rhyme Incorporated” is a poetic form

meaning “incorporation of poets’ names and the titles of their poems” in a new poem. Rhyme incorporated poem can be written as a short three mono-rhyming lines (a Tercet) or in multiple stanzas of mono-rhyming tercet and it is drawn from the titles of poems written by poets around the world. The rhyme scheme for this form of poetry is aaa, bbb, ccc, etc.; line 1 and 3 may or may not have same syllable counts.

I created “Rhyme Incorporated” as an answer to the calls of my peers/fellow poets: to write a tag poem (being played in 2007 at the Poetrysoup Community) to culminate the performance of other members by sharing a tag poem and have fun writing poetry.

Writing in this poetic form one must bare in mind to stay focus on his/her topic and no doubt must keep the interest of the readers. Also remember, in order to have a successful “Rhyme Incorporated” poem, one must read other poets works, (why? simply because how can you write a rhyme incorporated poem without knowing the names of the poets and their poems), then select the titles of their poems and with your own feelings/ideas, carefully construct a meaningful, interesting and heartfelt poem.

Well, the goal of this poetic form is to write a poem and at the same time to unite and to promote other poets and their works, and to foster and solidify brotherhood/sisterhood/camaraderie/friendship/peace among poets.

Surely, writing Rhyme Incorporated poetry is a lot of fun, enlightening and a very challenging activity. At first glance it seems difficult, but when you have the will to write, then I assure 99%, if not 100% that you can write a rhyme incorporated poem and the further you go in studying/writing in this form the closer you become the great master of Rhyme Incorporated. Oh, do not stress yourself or push your brain hard writing this kind of poetry, lest your work become meaningless and you end up not feeling well about me…lol.

And, if you are not a poet but has the craving to become one, just like me, and want to give it a try writing poetry, well there is always a solution. Use Google search and find an existing poetry forum/community/site, then join and start reading their works (you need to do a lot of reading, before you can write a rhyme incorporated poem) and at the same time read/commend their works. And, if you see an interesting title of poem that you can use for your own rhyme incorporated, list it down on a piece of paper and later write a poem, but only when you are inspired, ‘cos this way you can easily write in this form and the best part of all, it will make your poem a masterpiece that everybody will look at and of course, it will make you feel proud of yourself and feel like a great poet too.

Ok, here’s the simple rule of this poetic form, a poem is not a rhyme incorporated poem, without the names of other poets and their poems’ title in your poem. That’s it!

Lastly, do not forget to acknowledge the poets, for using their names and the titles of their works in your Rhyme Incorporated poem. This can be done by making a footnote at the end of your poem. A simple “thank you” note will be fair enough. Incorporating other poets or your own peers and their works in your rhyme incorporated poem is a compliment/an honor to all of them. But above all, be friendly or else they won’t allow you putting their names and titles of their works in your poem…lol! Good luck!

Here’s an example of a three line (Tercet) Rhyme Incorporated:

One Day In Spring

O, waiting for John Heck “In Fields of Eden”,

when “I Kissed a Butterfly” for “Breaking the Pen”

that Brandlynn Scruggs asked for “An Hour in Heaven”.

This poem consists of:

Poet John Heck, his poem “In Fields of Eden”

Poet Brandlynn Scruggs, her poem “An Hour in Heaven”

Me, my poems “I Kissed A Butterfly” and “Breaking the Pen”.

Here’s an example of a longer Rhyme Incorporated:

funny short bombing-action on the train-station-entry “Tegel” in berlin… sorry, haven’t more information about that. only a download from the website in the end of the clip. …. ok, you think, people hate graffiti because actions like this? damn, please think about it. is graffit an art and a culture for a mainstream? do you think, you’re the good guy if you make colour-full pix? tell me: graffiti is for what? is it a subculture? is it a culture against influences of a commercial area …
