At The Door (A Mirror Loop Structure)

I would like to introduce you to the Mirror Loop poetry Structures. The guidelines and structures I am presenting here will give your poetry depth and inspiration.
Poetry is a disciplined expression of the written word and the use of structures provide the tools of trade of poetry writing.

Poetry structures have a set of rhyming patterns, metre, grammar and imagery. Consider these aspects and then add topic and theme . Research and use all resources out there then start to sculpt your words into a better use of the English language .

The strength of poetry is having both the knowledge of structure and the ability to adapt these structures to create new forms .

The Mirro Loop is a structure I created in the early 1990's . The concept of this structure was to stretch out the imagination beyond the standard vision and exercise the use of grammar .

Try to write a Mirror Loop and think about words and expression . The English expression has an endless wealth of words to choose from .

Just to whet your appetite here is some basic steps to writing a Mirror Loop ,

The structure of this poem is written so that the poem can be read from the beginning to end and then back again from it’s end to the beginning.

The poem can be of any theme, but must have proper meter.
