I have filled notebooks with this form without even knowing it was a form! I love what you did with this. I must admit that I have never used a dictionary with any of my poems, but I do use spell check! 90% or more of my poems come out in 5 minutes or less. It is the oddest phenomenon I have ever been a part of. I do not claim to be creative or talented with poetry. I feel more like I am simply a vessel for a stream of words that exist for the taking. I simply connect to a portal.

One form I have not tried. Great write and good luck in the contest. love phyl

Animal Dyson is a Vacuum Cleaner made in the USA. It is the best kind and it has a see through canister where the dirt accumulates :0)

Andie, You wrote this with a clever and talented pen. Great ABC for John's contest. A winner for sure! Love, iolanda

the dentist discussing my treatment - - his bottom plate moves no Andy this can not be senryu and haiku. Sometimes the 3 line form of both looks the same and sometimes the content overylaps from one to the other and gets a little vague. But one thing never changes. The haiku has 2 sensory perceptions, one in each part of the poem. The senryu does not have to have even one, and instead of having two parts has only one. It is a three line single statement.

Andy, I had to change what I wrote in the contest. What I meant and the way it is now, I'm giving 15 extra for anyone who does a good season word. I put the link in to wkd just as a help for people to go there and find one if they needed to. I just worded it wrong originally. Any way you can come up with a season word is OK by me. Usually though they are season phrases rather than one word. I just gave Chris a good example. The "cat in love stance" was in spring I think.

Must be hard to tell a tory with this for but you did it to perfection. A great entry for sure. Betst of luck my dear.

nice piece..good luck in the contest

Such poems are called abacadarians. I lke it - especially "A Bronze covered dusk" Yes I was thinking about the song "Windy" by the Association - good band! Peace and love Matthew Anish

Delightful colors that quiver: perfect.

A real beauty this one, Andrea, loved it

Gosh Andrea, you blew me away with this gem.. you absolutely rocked this form.. I am not sure if I will get one done in time lol, love Wilma

I wrote Connie an e-mail and told her the problem - that you are reading my stuff, but that I cannot get yours or your comments. Hope this solves the problem. Our leaves are losing their "zest." The trees are slow in shedding this year and the city threatens only one leaf removal at the end of October. Bummer! Love, daver

Love this one, Andrea - very clever X word. I do hope the ice packs helped, my friend
