I enjoyed the class, and learned new ways to express myself. Also, I was inspired to write the following:. I’LL CONTINUE MY RHYMING WAYS. Will smugl...

Sue Raymer Woods Poetry: BACKWARD POET
http://sueraymewoodspoetry.blogspot.com/2009/08/backward-poet.html
Sue Raymer Woods Poetry. Thursday, August 06, 2009. This poem was inspired by various critics who suggested I: write sonnets, not rhyme, change my meter and correct my grammar. As my poetry is a definitive personal statement, I resist most suggestions. I refuse to compromise my writing to accommodate the desires of others. I am the ultimate arbiter of my work, and I have innate confidence in my choices regarding it. I’m a backward poet, and what is worse,. I’m a backward poet who writes inverse.

http://sueraymewoodspoetry.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-now-see-trees.html
Sue Raymer Woods Poetry. Friday, October 12, 2007. I NOW SEE TREES. This poem was inspired from an in class writing assignment at Diane Frank's Auto-Biography class at OLLI. I NOW SEE TREES. Since knocking gently upon Death’s door. I’m seeing trees like never before. Trees in their glorious shades of green. Are revealing details I’d never seen. I marvel at the variety. Of all the trees that I now see. Trees rising to majestic heights. Are one of earth’s most glorious sights. Trees for shade or any reason.

Sue Raymer Woods Poetry: GONE AND WHY
http://sueraymewoodspoetry.blogspot.com/2006/08/gone-and-why.html
Sue Raymer Woods Poetry. Monday, August 07, 2006. GONE, Is his loving touch. And the kiss that thrilled me oh so much. GONE is my dearest friend. Leaving me with a heart that won’t mend. GONE are walks down lover’s lane. Leaving me with an aching pain. GONE are all the years that I waited. Leaving a thirst that cannot be sated. GONE is eternal Spring. And my dreams of a wedding ring. GONE are trips to the moon. And our plans for a honeymoon. He’s GONE leaving me alone. With no one to call my own.

Sue Raymer Woods Poetry: POEMS THAT DON’T RHYME
http://sueraymewoodspoetry.blogspot.com/2006/08/poems-that-dont-rhyme.html
Sue Raymer Woods Poetry. Monday, August 07, 2006. POEMS THAT DON’T RHYME. This is one of my favorite poems, and one of the first written. It won the Critics Choice award and has been published in The International Library of Poetry, TIMELESS VOICES volume. It is not my intention to disparage poets that write poems that don't rhyme, many have achieved great fame and success. I simply prefer poems that rhyme. POEMS THAT DON’T RHYME. I’ve oft wondered why some spend their time. Just buy a rhyming dictionary.
