Unang-una kasi, hindi po natin alam ang konteksto ng isang likhang tula. Tanging ang manunulat lamang nito ang nakakaalam. Budding poets however, especially those who are making experiments should as Manong Romy says "know the rules" first before breaking it. Sumagi lang sa isip ko ang 4 na "rules" on writing or editing in general 1. Ang bagong manunulat, dapat may teachable spirit. Naalala ko bigla si Francisco Balagtas na sumulat ng mga tanyag na obra. Hindi siya gumaling sa pagsusulat kung hindi siya nagpatulong kay Huseng Sisiw. Tuwing makakagawa siya ng tula, pina pa ayos niya ito sa kanya. (Siyempre lagi siyang may dalang sisiw na pambayad sa pagod ni Huse) 2. Ang magagaling naman at mga bihasa na, dapat may willing heart na magturo sa mga baguhan. Mamamatay kasi ang ating mga nilikha kung wala man lang tayong naturuan kahit isa, libre man o may sisiw. In other words, we need to share the baton of our expertise. 3. Huwag matakot magkamali, wag lang mahirati. Sa umpisa, wag masyadong conscious sa kalalabasan ng tula. Isulat lang ang lahat ng ideyang lumalabas saka ito pagtagni-tagniin. Itapon ang di kailangan, panatilihin ang dapat. Basahin ito nang hindi ikaw ang nagbabasa. Basahin uli. Baguhin. Iimbak muna tapos basahin uli. Para lang tayong gumawa ng adobo o alak, habang tumatagal lalong sumasarap. 4. Punahin kung may mali, purihin naman kung tama. Ito ang daan ng paglago ng bawat isa sa larangang ito. Sa tingin ko po, isa ito sa mga goal ng blog na ito. Tama po ba Manong Romy? Happy writing to all !

In fact I have a book here beside me and I cannot find one poet's work that is not punctuated. I believe poets now who are not professional, use this form because they do not know how, or they feel it is more "creative"?

I know I am one with a lot of learning ahead of me. I am more than willing to learn. I do have a complaint. My complaint are the little poetry groups one joins and, submits their work. I see praise for terrible work. This is not helping, if one cannot be honest then their mouths should stay shut. I have stopped commenting. I think this is a good idea.

If you read the poems from the best poets past and present you will see they do use commas and periods. It drives me crazy when a poem is left reading itself. Without the proper punctuation the writing runs off the cliff. It makes no sense at all. I do not think a poet should be left alone any more then a novelist should not use proper punctuation. Why does a poet get a free ride? I write blogs and poetry. I use punctuation very carefully. Most poets feel they are above this, they have over inflated egos. English rules should matter or the reading will be difficult and make no sense at all. Of course one should punctuate.
