I was kidding about the limericks.

Form Over Substance

Haiku, the way I understand the form to be is a formula: Two lines for mood or season, then a final one changing direction Just five syllables in line one, then seven more, and a final five. Poetic license and seven syllables in three lines produce: My pseudo Haiku, weird and quirky little bits that... Sign in to see full entry.

Haiku you, and you, and you

...or, “three for the price of one.” Lately I haven’t done many of the pseudo haiku things I like to play around with, or anything else approaching poetry.

KA-BOOM, A-LAMA BOOM BOOM

The top of my head overflows with invention. I fear it might ex… (Insert the title line here) Sorry about that. Sometimes I just can’t resist letting the overgrown kid resurface. I do sort of like the title as both title and possible refrain. I’m thinking song lyrics here. You know, those old rock... Sign in to see full entry.
