A blog on the Ballade.
For those of you I have spoken to… it is time.
I will begin the workshop on the Ballade shortly. Being that it is the most difficult form I know, it will be held in the Shark Tank. Being that a Ballade must tell a story, it is being held under the auspices’ of Storytelling in Verse.
The goal is simple: to write a classic 14th century Ballade with all the trimmings.
I have said this before, but I will say it again… I expect the workshop to be “intimate”, meaning I don’t expect a large turnout for such a difficult concept.
All are welcome. PM me if you would like to truly challenge your poetic skills.

Just wanted to put it back on top for a second.
The syllabus is posted for those interested.

A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds. Percy Bysshe Shelley
