Poetry Friday



Poetry should be like fireworks, packed carefully and artfully, ready to explode with unpredictable effects.

    Interesting. How does this relate to haiku?

    Liz, a haiku is a poem that is carefully packed--you leave behind everything that is totally unnecessary and will not fit. It can explode in that with its extreme brevity, it leaves itself open to multiple associations and interpretations.

    I like the idea of a poem being a careful package of uniquely chosen words.
