KYIV/LVIV, Ukraine, March 17 (Reuters) - Rescue workers on Thursday dug survivors out of the rubble of a theatre in the besieged city of Mariupol which Ukraine said had been hit by a Russian air strike as people sheltered there from bombardments. 

Russia denied striking the theatre. But Ukraine's capital Kyiv came under renewed Russian shelling on Thursday as the war entered its fourth week. 

Western sources and Ukrainian officials said Russia's assault had stalled. Officials from both sides meanwhile met again for peace talks, but they said their positions remained far apart.

Fred only knows how to copy and paste. Fred copied and pasted the rules of poetry from dozens of books. Create his own poetry, his own thoughts? Not so much.

I have examined Fred's book on Poetry and if you knew anything about the general field you would know how useful the book is. Enough in fact that a major publisher had seen fit to publish it.
and now, Miss Stalker: what have you published?
And what have you done other than working the night shift at BurgerKing?

There are dozens of books of poetry out there. They won't be using yours anymore. You have problems.

You are white.
You are male.

For that alone they will eschew using your book on how to write poetry and use a newer one. Your book will go on the ash heap of history. Your book will be ashes. BIPOC will see to it.

The BIPOC racists have name for you: DWEM

That is how they roll.

By the time you predict irreversible global warming and sea level rise you name will be forgotten. It might be a good thing. God might forget you wrote the book and you might gain life everlasting on a mistake.

It is about how to write poetry, but you have no original content


https://www.reference.com/world-view/conventions-poetry-366be0673cd31d4e

There are many other books out there on conventions like:

Conventions of Poetry by Savannah Strutz

Conventions of Poetry II by Mariann Howard


There are even convention of poetry flashcards.


The acronym DWEM came from the universities. We know how the Left eats their own
