I always find poems about poetry fun. I think there is a name for ths litterary technique, but... As to free verse versus rhymed verse, I think one just writes in the form that comes to him at that moment, and there is not one technique better than the other. Anyways, I like what you wrote!

Hehe, I found this amusingXD Thanks for the advice on my // storyXD

Yes, it's humorous--that third haiku.

I love free verse too because it gives you the "freedom" to express yourself. However, I liked rhymed poems, tankas and haikus because they provide challenge for the writer.

Great theme. My approach would be the exact opposite - a strict scheme often forces you to think twice about what to write - especially when it comes to haiku or tanka, another advantage is that your poem won't be too long and your thoughts won't get lost in insignificant details :)

BTW, thanks for your review. My dictionary says that "stonewall" without space is a valid English word, too (possibly only in British English? Don't know), but I'll insert a space there anyway - looks better this way.

I liked this. It was very original.

(5-7-5)

rain streaks on highway,

sinuous like summer's end,-

lengthy dreams soft fade.

(5-7-5)

love´s but protein,

raging hormones in red blood,-

protean desires.

(5-7-5)

four by four room´s walls,

circle magic all my dreams,-

harvest moon´s gold glow.

p.s. thank you for your kind comments. m

I liked it. Poetry about poetry...very unique.

That was good. I like how you expressed your opinion in a haiku. Keep writing!

Is it a mistake to consider writing art, or if that's too much, then it is at least a form of self expression? If so, why should there be so many rules one way or the other, constrained or not by our own choice,we should be able to follow our own paths freely.Good poem.

you havent written in a while, its nice to hear something. ^^ i keep meaning to start on your stories but i never have time...*sigh* oh the joys of junior year...
