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)

Amen to that, brother ? Lovely poem. If it was mine, I'd cut down some of its middle, but it's not, so I won't ?

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.

That’s more like it, MC. Comparing the overlooking of my unquestionable genius with The Beatles.

Well described Graham. The certainties and clarity of defined boundaries is sorely missed, despite the inequities they entrenched.
Enjoyed.

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.

I won't deny that I've been a bit curious in the past, but personally, I find science to be of comfort and a good way to both indulge my curiosity and protect my sanity...

John - I worked for three different record companies in the 70's and if only you were on my radar then I could have turned down your request for a recording contract. Ah well...

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.

I was a bit too trigger happy, Graham, with this post. I posted it apparently without the song.
Yes, I understood you. What I meant was that you managed to comment within seconds of me posting it. You must have been lurking in wait.
