I see there are different syllable counts in Japanese too..eg short syllables lol.

It sounds like something exciting is happening in jens life….a new leaf to turn.

As regards the blank poem, its on its way to the publishers now and should be out in all good bookstores for christmas. Reasonably priced at £7.99

:D

I like the idea of breaking rules.

I think jens haikus should be called a haiku triplet.

Im wondering if you have to stick rigidly to the 7,5,7 for it to be a haiku.

Most of the great artists moved away from the accepted norm to create their own styles.Scriabin as an example created his own tonal system.

Would you class john cages 4″33 as music?

I might put up a blank page and call it a poem lol

I agree to a certain extent annette but if you put up anything on a public message board you have have to expect a diss once in a while. Its the nature of these places.
Generally i would keep quiet unless i really liked something then i would say so.

Of course i would like to see more death,sex and bondage poetry rather than the light and fluffy.

Its rather like mozart to me…

As I for one , know to my cost, from past experiences here ….. But Goodness me , all of that because of someone’s poems :roll:

I didnt read the whole thread scep so i couldn’t really say.

We all suffer a narcissistic injury from time to time…better to just move on and up.

Victim

Frantic red hands defending
Slashed by cold steel under moon
last gasps of breath
Pitiful ending.

Ragged clothes damp in dew
Tangled hair masks a face
Blank and dead eyes stare
Life descending.

The roar of roadside yards away
A body dumped in ditch awaits
The tent of forensics
Tests for sending.

Sobbing family members wait
White overalls with cameras take
The faith she had did little make
A trial is pending.

Sorry ive had a shyte day.

[a certain sadness]
