VERBLESS:an imagist form without verbs--perhaps the most famous is Pound's hiku 'STATION METRO'

REQUIEM nothing- then silence, sad faces! then tears, emotion, regret- then pain

Oh, the verbs are there, Brian...loud and strong in this excellent piece.

Brian, your simple words are eloquent in their grace and perfectly reflect grieving. I wrote a poem without using verbs. Your poem resonates with that experience. Grace and blessings to you! Thank you for your most recent placement. I am thoroughly enjoying your contests especially refining the writing of haiku!
