Lol I know what you mean, but lately I've been finding the restrictions entertaining actually, getting around them is part of the process now. I'm just really enjoying experimenting again, I think every writer should step out of their usual m.o. at least once ☺

great use of white space and formatting. i especially like;

Of a glass heart
The surety
Of a grain . of sand
That is my brain.

clever stuff, reminds me of cummings.

i know that is formatted wrong but it wont let me make indents on comments :(

I'm obviously a complete Philistine because I just don't get it. However, I read it three times so you've achieved more than many others Kealan.

The format's right at 5/7/5
It should be called Senryu
Because it has no nature theme
It's not really Haiku

(Thanks Steve)

What Steve said. Enjoyed reading this, chockful of interesting lines, but these:

The loss of everything she loved might have

Compensated for the joy of continued existence

should there be a 'not' after 'have'? I'm confused.

Ha..,.so much talent that gets missed, Brian. You should recall that
Decca famously rejected the chance of signing The Beatles, much
to the disgust of Brunswick A&R honcho, the redoubtable Dick Jacobs.

Well, to give a direct answer, John, would be to imply that you don't understand the possibilities behind the usage of the pronouns.

And, to know that you ponder at all, David, is a privilege. The thing about pondering is that it doesn't require the satisfaction of knowing if it is right or wrong--it is a sort of joy in itself.

Thanks, all, for reading and responding, by whatever means of choice.

Have a good day,

Rachel

You lot got me all confused. The notice at the beginning said John and Graham had posted a comment. In great excitement I scrolled down to see. Blow me down there were none. Thinks I, John has made a comment Graham has deleted. Yes, I think, John is up to his old tricks again.

In other words I don't think I had a clue what was going on... ?

Blame, that wretched fiend, and guilt that wicked weight. Perhaps my tears will flow enough to make a pool deep enough to drown in. Love is deeply painful and yet like gravity, there is little escape.
