+ Creator of footle form

+'hiku' explained https://www.poetrysoup.com/member_area/articles/article_edit.aspx?ID=5124

* OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

+Gestural abstraction- my art style
