Tres Mali Scott’s Poetry & Short Stories: 2011 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 9,400 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
What is a Short Story?
A short story has six elements, including:
- Setting–time, location, & place.
- Plot–arrangement or sequence of events.
- Conflict–external or internal–can be–physical, classical, social, or psychological.
- Character–the person you are talking about or the characteristics of “a” person.
- Point-of-view–how the story is told.
- Theme–the main idea that controls the flow & other elements of the short story.
A short story is a work of fiction that is usually written in prose, often in narrative format. This format tends to be more pointed than longer works of fiction, such as novellas (in the 20th and 21st century sense) and novels. Short story definitions based on length differ somewhat, even among professional writers, in part because of the fragmentation of the medium into genres. Since the short story format includes a wide range of genres and styles, the actual length is determined by the individual author’s preference (or the story’s actual needs in terms of creative trajectory or story arc) and the submission guidelines relevant to the story’s actual market. Guidelines vary greatly among publishers.[1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_story)
Many short story writers define their work through a combination of creative, personal expression, and artistic integrity. They attempt to resist categorization by genre as well as definition by numbers, finding such approaches limiting and counter-intuitive to artistic form and reasoning. As a result, definitions of the short story based on length splinter even more when the writing process is taken into consideration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_story).
Good Luck On Writing Your “Short Stories”!!!!!!!

A detailed definition is:
Poetry (from the Greek ‘poiesis’/ποίησις [poieo/ποιέω], a making: a forming, creating, or the art of poetry, or a poem) is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning. Poetry may be written independently, as discrete poems, or may occur in conjunction with other arts, as in poetic drama, hymns, lyrics, or prose poetry. It is published in dedicated magazines (the longest established being Poetry and Oxford Poetry), individual collections and wider anthologies.
Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. The earliest poems evolved from folk songs[1], such as the Chinese Shijing, or from the need to retell oral epics, such as the Sanskrit Vedas, Zoroastrian Gathas, and the Homeric epics, the Odyssey and the Iliad. Ancient attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle‘s Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song, and comedy.[2] Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from more objectively informative, prosaic forms of writing, such as manifestos, biographies, essays, and novels .[3] From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more generally labeled as a fundamental creative act using language.[4]
Poetry primarily is governed by idiosyncratic forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony, and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, metaphor, simile, and metonymy[5] create a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetry).

Liquid Sunshine, A Rainy Day!
Liquid sunshine, a rainy day.
looking out of the resturant windown in May,
drops fill a Marina, the East calls it a Bay,
positive or negative, choose what you say,
liquid sunshine, a rainy day.

This is Mother’s Day!
"This Is Mother's Day" poem by Tres Mali Scott
This is Mother’s Day!
The person that influences what we say,
The person that provided for were we stayed,
The person that gave us a bed to lay.
This is Mother’s Day!
The person that still gives us a sense of happiness, Gay!
This is Mother’s Day!
