re: b a n n e d - I know, the algorithm tickles me sometimes. A few times when editing I'll put the word "indent" in the reason why I'm editing and that alone will trigger it. Also using the word "b a n n e d" will sometimes do it... I see it as a challenge
"yearned" is a possibility... it's just a bit of a stretch for a rhyme... I'll keep thinking

I see! But is the rhyme always necessary?
Vibrant colors!
Rhyming verses or free verses?

Re: Rhyme: No, it's not necessary... It was just something that evolved after I came up with your this/that question - the rhyme simply came to mind in this instance after the first a-h stanza... perhaps it wouldn't be heresy if the 'h' rhyme' was ignored... more food for thought
Ok, I've made a revision, and a tweak or two, that might be an improvement and keep my rhyme scheme intact:
a færie costume ball; many with / clothes made of spider's silk, / flower petals, and starlight - / their masks fashioned from / mystic ebon forest shadows on / moonless mid-summer nights / to complete the masquerade
some might consider this a myth - / but maidens with limbs of milk / and an elemental guardian sprite / have danced with me to the drum, / viol, and flute long past dawn / dreamlike - far more than flights / of fancy upon the færie esplanade
Rhyme has its place, I especially like internal rhymes, but more of my poetry lately (I think) is tending toward free verse, especially my minimalistic poetry.
Would you rather express yourself through art, through words, or through deeds ?

That sounds so much better now, the verse flows, the first ending seemed a bit abrupt to me.
Any of these means seems very valid to me.
Do you see poetry as a means of self expression or a means to translate the universe?

Not sure what "translate the universe" means... In this way no... google: "Translating the universe means converting its raw data—like light, gravity, and unseen energy—into formats humans can understand, like math, code, sound, or touch."
So, I guess "see poetry as a means of self expression"

I think, I used an Brazilian expression in English by mistake. I wanted to distinguish the poetry that deals with personal matters like feelings, impressions, personal experience from a poetry that deals with universal matters like history or social poetry. But one can also regard a metaphor or an image as a sort of code I think, so it also falls in with the definition you found.
Theorically both themes are very interesting. But they would be new subjects to me and sometimes I feel that my head has difficulty in holding the already acquired knowledge.
Apple, peach or pear for dessert?

Gifts you would like to get if it was your birthday: a special tv subscription, an anthology of US poetry, garden flowers, or?

Dunno... not tv, have enough anthologies, flowers are too fleeting... maybe just a special dinner.
Same question ?

Well, a special dinner self cooked or in a cozy restaurant, is a nice present.
I like several things: books, songs, useful things for the house. I don't like flowers. As you say, it is a fleeting gift and their place is in nature.
