Morning Quilly!
Thank you for the visit. I like this short piece, it made me think of my Beloved.
If I may ask, who is David? You mentioned him in your comment to me.
I’m just dying to know
Annie’s last blog post..Looking for a Safe Haven
I like what Nessa said — a very nice haiku haiku
Barbara H.’s last blog post..When someone falls
i sincerely hope this won’t be taken amiss and i’m sorry if i happen to hurt any feelings but i have to spit it out.
if you were writing a verse about haiku, fine. but haiku, this is not! not even senryu or zappai for that matter.
i have a feeling (correct me if i’m wrong) your schools have taught haiku as some sort of a syllable-counting exercise, and by doing so done a huge misjustice to the form.
haiku is NOT about 17 syllables and the vast majority of things written in 5-7-5 have nothing in common with haiku whatsoever.
juliana’s last blog post..A nod to Poetic Asides and some bragging (sorry)
oh, and by posting this mini-rant (i haven’t decided yet but might extend it a little in my blog at some later time) i have taken the lead! woo hoo!
i would rather it were a different kind of comment, though…
