Hello Bernadette, you asked about Haiku.
The true answer would probably take a couple of pages to describe it in its purest form, but on the whole, here in the UK it is taken to mean a three line poem with five syllables in the first and third lines and seven in the second. The lines should relate to each other in some way, as Dave's does quite well. Hope this helps

Glad you liked Walking the Shore. It was about a former colleaque who I was drinking with last night, as it happens. Glad to report he's in the best of health! Commiserations about the rejection, by the way. I had a sheaf of returned poems waiting on the mat for me when I got back from my hols the other day. Ain't it always the way?!

Hi Lynn, thanks for your kind comments on my Pearlfishers poem. And I definately think you should write the "female idea of heaven" poem!! Somewhere where chocolate is very slimming, wine is free and men are always nice and polite!! (No, that would NEVER happen - not even in heaven!) xx

Hi again Bernie! I always felt it was enough to let the poems flow out, then let them be. Just recently I've started reading more poetry. It can get quite depressing sometimes when you read wonderful stuff, but then you get inspired (hopefully!) I do think I "overwrite", put too much info in, lead the reader into what to think and how to interpret the poem. I do want to try and leave more for the reader to do. We're all learning, after all! But I feel (typical gemini!) like too poets split down the middle at the moment! Take care - done any more decorating lately? ;-) xxxx

Wow Bernadette, three grandsons and another on the way! My daughter was like that, having three girls in a row, but now she has evened it up a bit with two boys. We thought she'd finished after the first boy, but no...! They are all marvellous though of course, and we have 6 grandkids altogether, our other daughter has just one girl.

Hi Dave, Sorry to hear about the impending funeral you are attending, hope all goes as well as possible. No hurry with collaboration from my point of view, just if and whenever you feel ready. Best Wishes, Lynn x

Comment is about Dave Dunn (poet profile)

Original item by Dave Dunn

Hi Lynn - well now there's a thought - I guess it was evident that I was really meaning the poem wasn't overly long in my view as Cynthia had first indicated. However if you are up for collaborative efforts I can be swayed that way :) Can this be in a couple of days or so? We have a funeral to attend tomorrow so family and friends are arriving from all corners, but I should be clear by Friday. Best wishes, Dave

Hi Greg - yes, it was Daljit Nagra and another poet called Frances Leviston, both were wonderful tutors who gave their time really generously. But . . . I now find I can't write! And I know that if I work on my poems and make them more minimal and less wordy, no one on here will like them! May not be around so much on here in future, til I've sorted the conundrum out! xx

Original item by Greg Freeman

Hi Ann. Was your poetic guide Daljit Nagra, who wrote Look! We are Coming to Dover? I'm a great admirer. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick yet again, and it was a different Daljit? Sounds like a good course, anyway

Thanks for your comments on my poems - you are such a great supporter and reader of poetry on here - WOL is lucky to have you. Both the poems were fast writes - I have to be feeling angry or miserable to write like that so thankfully, I don't do many. Normally I agonise over poetry and there is tons of stuff I don't post. Good to see you at Salford - hope to have more time to chat next time - there's always too much poetry at these things LOL x

Hi - I just could not find any poems in the others - they were still almost unbelievable for me & I wrote at the time, of one of them, that it actually seemed to be more real than real life & that one is really capable of logical thought processes within a dream - just like in real life, only here you can do whatever you like. That was the tragedy of this dream - that I could have asked any question & been given the answer (hence the title) but I couldn't think of a single thing to ask - what a waste. all the best. B

Thank you so much cynthia on your kind comments on my..alphabet lover.. im so glad you liked it . and thank you for your comment regarding the ooh la la 's and wondering if it was a child or an adult . i re-read it and can see what you mean by it could be either but never realised this when i wrote it...it is actually an adult but could equally be a child so i guess i did better than i realised on this one ! best regards bernadette x x
