Poetic Almanac Part 1 Is Complete!!!

*E-Shark47:iconE-Shark47: reports, January 17
I am so proud of how well this project turned out.

This project began March 12, 2009 and the first part of it is finally finished. Today is January 17, 2010, so just a fraction of this project has taken me 10 months and 5 days (there were a lot of variables that went into the long time frame, but that's beside the point).

So what is the Poetic Almanac? It was originally a forum, but that ended quickly (and catastrophically). Now, it's a research project of mine that focuses on poetics. Poetics is the literary techniques and theory that deals with poetry. The first part, called The Basics of Poetics has been completed. I estimate that the final product will contain 7 parts. So here are the first five guides for the Poetic Almanac:

Poetic Metaphor


Poetic Devices


Meter


Rhyme and Verse


Fulcrum in Poetry


I hope this helps you out. There will be more to come. Also, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to contact me.

This project was shortly renamed SharkNotes. The name "Poetic Almanac" just seemed to cliche.
