First Sight// Form

(LOVE)

 No Poet, eyes upon.
 My heart began to rhyme you.
 Get with the situation.


(SHORT)
 First Haiku ever.
 Joy of write, Haikus delight.
 So cut me some slack.

Not at all bad for your first haiku attempt, Linda. I see that advice has been coming your way:) Haiku is an art that takes lots of practice, something which I am still doing, and am still learning in the process. Hugs // paul

Dear Linda, As a novice POET my Favorite forms are Haiku,Senryu,Free Verse,Rhyme, and lately Narrative. I am not a critic, but the original Haiku was 5-7-5 Your first one was 6-7-7 the second one perfect Loved the message though. LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry

i like these too, pd, count me in as a major fan of yours, but then again i've always been a fan of yours. i see too that dg's comments are a bit like she comments on my poetry, that is when she can be bothered.

A lot of hate there...good one there and funny, too, despite the fact that it is about hate. Emily
