that’s ONE thing I have no notion of ever trying to do…. I don’t get it, I don’t particularly like it, I read lots of them but they don’t make my heart beat faster….. sorry – for once I pass 😉

Poetry; Life’s
Unnecessary necessity
Reason under all
A failure but I fell in love with the paradox and couldn’t let go. ❤

For some reason I can haiku easily but many other forms elude me, we each have our things

Sadly (or gladly) I cannot keep ‘form’ in my head. I write what comes out. It has it’s own form. If it takes after a ‘form’ it is by pure chance 😉

I am much the same , but for reasons unknown I see rhythms/patterns in most everything . And I’m a minimalist when it comes to words on paper, bit the poker person who talks to me face to face )

I have found that minimalism of words IS very much my comfort. Though I would not have recognized this until the last few years. Where my posts used to be HUNDREDS of words, now, I find comfort in stating something simply. I think that’s why form doesn’t matter to me. I don’t want to have to ‘fit’ into something.
And I like the patterns you find and create.

It might be a bit late but haiku shouldn’t only be limited to one day a year. That’s why I do them daily! Also your haiku paints a great picture and the quote is amazing! I love it!
