Sundry Verse About Writing Poetry

Haiku hankering
mixed with lim’rick addiction —
housework hiatus.

*****

I am on a quest
For haiku or senryu.
Mission accomplished.

*****

Artificial
line breaks can seduce readers
into thinking
you’ve said something
profound.

    Madeleine,
    Very good haikus and a guiding light on how it should be. And you are one of a rare find always with a limerick, an offering I find difficult to create. One must have that sense of humor to create a notable one. I will try though!

    Hank
